PHYSIOTHERAPY

We use hands-on techniques to assess, diagnose and treat underlying causes of pain and injury, in order to prevent and alleviate pain and mobility limitations. Some common conditions our physiotherapists treat, include (but not limited to): chronic conditions, such as arthritis; acute condition, such as ankle sprains; car accident injuries, sports injuries, sciatica, musculoskeletal strains and pains, such as from knee, shoulder, neck and back; and tendonitis.

We Provide

Evidence based treatment that involves the insertion of a thin stainless steel needle to stimulate the healing process of soft tissue. It can be inserted in muscle trigger points, tendons and ligaments that results in pain relief and restoration of soft tissue.

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive light source, used to treat various musculoskeletal disorders. It generates a single wavelength of light, which acts to reduce inflammation, reduce pain and enhance tissue regeneration. LLLT can treat various conditions such as:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Disc degeneration and herniation
  • Sciatica
  • Neuropathic pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Lymphedema

Electrotherapy is the use of an electrical machine to deliver electrical impulses to a patient’s body. This stimulation helps promote and facilitate muscle healing and tissue regeneration.The use of electrotherapy has shown to help treat:

  • Muscle spasms
  • Muscular atrophy due to disuse
  • Local blood circulation and flow
  • Range of motion
  • Pain (chronic, post-traumatic, and post-surgical acute)
  • Prevention of deep vein thrombosis post-surgery
  • Improvement in the effectiveness in delivering prescription drugs-electromotive drug administration (EMDA)
  • Inflammation
  • Tendonitis
  • Bursitis
  • Arthritis

Individualized exercise programs designed to increase strength, flexibility and functionality. The rehabilitative exercises allow patients to recover from their injuries, regain their independence, and live full and active lifestyles

An acoustic wave which carries high energy to promote regeneration and repair of soft tissue, bones and tendons. Shockwave therapy in a non-invasive treatment which helps with:

  • New blood vessel formation
  • Chronic Inflammation
  • Stimulation of collagen production
  • Calcification
  • Pain
  • Release of trigger points

Physiotherapists use their hands or bodies to apply direct manual force on joints, muscles, and tissues to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. Techniques involve, kneading and manipulation of muscles, joint mobilization and joint manipulations

Treatment of disorders associated with the vestibular system, such as:

  • Vertigo
  • Dizziness
  • Spinning
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Lightheadedness
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Double-vision
  • Impaired balance

Pre-surgical rehabilitation (“pre-hab) is widely starting to become recognized as a crucial part to recovery and facilitate a better outcome, following a surgical intervention. Pre-hab can help improve range of motion, strength and endurance to allow for faster and more effective recovery

Post-Surgical rehabilitation focuses on re-gaining functional independence and reduce recovery time. Post-operatively, physiotherapy can help with:

  • Pain
  • Swelling
  • Range of motion
  • Strength
  • Gait-retraining
  • Balance and proprioception
  • Return to sport and/or full functional levels
