Services

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists are licenced professionals. Physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of physical dysfunction, for the purpose of promoting good physical function and the relief of pain

Our physiotherapists can treat your area of concern using multiple modalities. This may include using manual techniques, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or laser modalities, providing acupuncture, giving exercises, taping, or exercise prescription. Education is also an important part of our service.

Kinesiology

Kinesiologists study the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement. Our accredited kinesiologists are human movement specialists. Their role is to evaluate physical activity-related matters and recommend solutions in health, exercise, rehabilitation and sport. Kinesiology may become part of your physiotherapy treatment plan and will involve an education in movement and exercise.

Our kinesiologists will develop an active treatment plan for you based on your individual needs. It can consist of a gentle session inside of our clinic to help you stretch and move through the acute phase of your injury, it can consist of developing a rigorous fitness routine to help you come back from a sports injury, or it can be any number of things in between. A kinesiology session will always involve educating you on the best posture to keep while doing any exercises.

Hydrotherapy

Located in the heart of the mission leisure center, our therapists can provide services both on land and in the water! Hydrotherapy is an excellent option for active rehabilitation, as the decreased gravitational force causes low resistance and less stress on weight bearing joints. Hydrotherapy is typically recommended to patients who suffer from lower extremity pain, motor vehicle accidents, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. There are many benefits including strengthening weak muscles, increasing circulation, increasing range of motion and improving of balance and coordination.

Women’s Health

Individual Physiotherapy treatments and kinesiology sessions:

With a specialized approach to women’s health and core rehabilitation we strive to create treatment plans that work toward treating core weakness. Utilizing a combination of hands-on therapy and functional training we build towards restoring core strength and overall function. These techniques focus on re-engaging the loop between the brain and core muscles enabling them to once again work in harmony as they’re intended to. Throughout the process, emphasis on re-engaging deep core muscles, which stabilize the spine and pelvic floor are targeted. Our specialized program provides step by step progressions along with strategies and tools specific to your needs. The overall process is multifaceted and includes re-education, motor learning, postural control and functional core training.

Our approach to women’s health and core specific rehabilitation combine to help treat:

  • Low back pain
  • Pelvic instability
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Incontinence
  • Diastasis recti abdominis

In addition, we also provide therapy specific to:

  • Pre & post-natal fitness and rehabilitation
  • Labor & delivery training

With core training, expectant mothers can prevent diastasis recti, gain strength and coordination of the abdominals and pelvic floor and maintain optimal fetal alignment for delivery. With a postnatal program new mothers can heal diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, sciatica and other low back issues, as well as gain strength and proper posture to provide pain-free care to their children.
