Physiotherapy is a form of health care that can treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. That includes conditions with joints, muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons.
Physiotherapy treatments are non-invasive and drug-free. They involve hands-on techniques such as soft tissue therapy, conditioning, and rehabilitation programs. Physiotherapists also use equipment such as ultrasound, IFC and laser therapy.
We can help you get back to enjoying your life without pain weighing you down every day.
Whole-Body Approach
Our physiotherapists take a whole-body approach. They will identify the source of your pain or mobility conditions and then address the root cause. It’s our philosophy that this is the best way to improve your overall quality of life and ensure your conditions don’t return.

How does Physiotherapy work?
The process begins with analyzing your conditions and their causes. Our physiotherapists will speak with you about your condition and medical history. Then they will make a physical examination.
They will use their understanding of body mechanics (and sometimes tools like x-rays and CT scans) to formulate a diagnosis and a treatment plan. The plan often involves exercise programs, manual therapy, and other treatments that encourage the body to strengthen and repair itself.
We will create a treatment plan that’s customized just for you. Because when it comes to your health, a “one size fits all” approach just doesn’t work. Since our treatments are tailored to your unique needs, they will help get you back to full health as soon as possible.
When can I expect to see results?
Many patients start feeling improvements as early as their first visit. Every case is different, but the short time it takes to begin seeing results is one of the key benefits of physiotherapy.
There are no long wait times for procedures and no delays between assessment and treatment. Instead, your physiotherapist can begin treating you as soon as they’ve identified the condition since we know that’s important when you’re dealing with pain or immobility. We know you want to be rid of these conditions now so you can return to fully enjoying life and your favourite activities!
Of course, serious injuries and progressive conditions can take longer to treat. For example, soft tissue damage can take about 6-8 weeks to heal. However, your physiotherapist can recommend simple physiotherapy exercises to do at home. This will speed up your results and reduce the number of visits you’ll need to achieve full health.
Cost and Coverage
Like many of our services, our physiotherapy treatments are often covered through employer, auto, or disability insurance. So treatments can be available at little or no cost to you. Get in touch or schedule a consultation to learn more.
