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.
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.
If you are dealing with pain, weakness, or stiffness, physiotherapy can help. Whether you’ve had a motor vehicle accident, surgery, or are suffering from unexplained muscle and joint issues, our physiotherapists can get you back to living your daily life pain-free and without limitations!

The many benefits of physiotherapy don’t stop there. It can also help with a wide range of other conditions, such as:
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.
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.

Chiropractic care is not only for back problems. It can also treat and relieve headaches. By manipulating the spine, chiropractors release tension caused by misaligned vertebrae. This built-up tension often leads to headaches. By getting rid of that tightness, headaches are less likely to occur in the future.
The spine’s proximity to the neck area means that any problem in the back will most likely affect the neck, too. Most neck pains can be traced to a misaligned spine. By making sure that the backbone is in working order, any stiffness, pain, or tension on the neck can also be relieved.
Some joint pains are directly connected to misalignments in the spine. Once the spine is aligned correctly, affected joints, like shoulders, hips, or knees, often see a marked decrease in pain. Arthritis patients also can benefit from receiving chiropractic care.
Slow digestion and other digestive problems are often linked to an unhealthy central nervous system (made up of the brain and the spinal cord). Because chiropractic care addresses problems connected to the spine and the nervous system, its effectivity extends to digestive issues, too.
