Advanced Manual Therapy
Research has proven that manual therapy can help to control your pain and improve your ability to perform functional activities.

Techniques such as mobilizations, soft-tissue release work and manipulations have demonstrable benefits for reducing muscle pain and tension, and for restoring normal joint movement.
weight training
Individualized Exercise Prescription
No two injuries are ever the same. This is why a thorough assessment will lead to a treatment plan and exercise program that is designed for your specific rehabilitation needs and goals. At Elora Physiotherapy, your physiotherapist will work with you to develop an exercise program which will help you to move and function in an optimal way, resulting in less chance of injury recurrence.
Neurofunctional Acupuncture
At Elora Physiotherapy we have extensive neurofunctional acupuncture training through the McMaster Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program. This specialized type of acupuncture targets needling specific acupuncture points in the body with very fine needles to modulate the nervous system. These spots are stimulated gently with electricity to promote the nervous system to release chemicals and hormones in the brain, spinal cord and muscles. This helps regulate the nervous system back to a balanced state that improves pain, muscle activation and circulation. The release of these chemicals and hormones in the body is a natural way to influence the body’s own internal regulating system and this helps restore biochemical balance, which promotes the body’s natural ability to heal and physical and emotional well-being.
Paediatric Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can help you feel your best at every stage in your life. Paediatric physiotherapists specialize in optimizing function, movement and quality of life in children from birth through to 18 years of age. Treatment sessions with children are developed to be fun and activity based, with individualized one-on-one attention.

We provide services to children with a variety of diagnoses, both acute and chronic. These can include the following: plagiocephaly and/or torticollis, activity or growth related issues, paediatric orthopaedic conditions, fractures, post-surgical rehabilitation and growing pains.

Modalities
Modalities are treatment tools that cause physiological changes in order to improve the body’s ability to heal. Most often, they are used to relieve pain, decrease swelling, improve circulation and to reduce muscle spasm. Types of modalities we use at Elora Physiotherapy include, ultrasound, interferential current therapy (IFC), combination therapy (ultrasound and IFC at the same time), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), heat, and ice.
Custom and off-the-shelf bracing and wellness products
We offer a comprehensive bracing and wellness products program. We have a wide range of off-the-shelf or prefabricated brace options available for all areas of the body, and also provide custom bracing with a physiotherapist who has ten years of custom bracing experience. We are well-versed with all custom knee brace options available and provide custom braces from Ossur, DonJoy and Breg. We are highly-skilled to work with you, and your doctor or surgeon, if a specific brace has been prescribed or recommended for you.

Massage
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a manual treatment technique that addresses the soft tissues of the body. The Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario defines massage therapy as a “clinically-oriented healthcare option to help alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. Massage therapy can be used as a treatment for both acute and chronic conditions. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) work with a wide variety of patients in the treatment of illness, injury rehabilitation and disability.”. Our RMTs are dedicated to help alleviate your pain and discomfort, help you work towards your goals and provide some much needed calm and relaxation to your day.  
tmj
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw bone to the skull and allows for movement such as chewing, speaking or yawning.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) refers to problems with the jaw joint, jaw alignment, and surrounding muscle and connective tissue. Symptoms of TMD can include facial pain and tenderness, a clicking or popping sound in the jaw, and jaw locking (either in an open or closed position).

Physiotherapy can help reduce the pain and discomfort of both chronic and acute TMD and get the temporomandibular joint moving properly again.

Persistent Pain
Our nervous system consists of over 400 nerves that deliver information about movement, sensation, and danger to different parts of our body. After an injury, our nervous system can remain sensitive and continue to perceive a threat even though the risk of injury is now passed and the tissue itself has healed. This is known as persistent pain.

Treatment of persistent pain requires a unique approach. After a detailed assessment of your history, pain, and lifestyle, your physiotherapist will develop a pain program specifically for you, consisting of: pain education, personalized goals, activity and lifestyle modification, regular physical activity, and an individualized therapeutic exercise program. These treatments combined work towards decreasing your nervous system sensitivity and increasing your participation in the activities you love.

If you have had pain for a prolonged period of time, or perhaps traditional treatment approaches have not been as successful as you hoped, a physiotherapy approach with a focus on persistent pain might be the next step for you.

Vestibular Physiotherapy
The vestibular system, in our inner ear, is responsible for providing our brain with information about our head position and movement, allowing us to maintain our balance and stability. Individuals struggling with vestibular injury or dysfunction often have symptoms of dizziness/spinning, nausea, imbalance, ringing in the ears, visual and auditory changes, or headache. Some common vestibular conditions include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, vestibular hypofunction, neuritis, and age related dizziness and imbalance.

Physiotherapists can assist in diagnosing various vestibular conditions and if necessary, refer on for appropriate testing and management. Using a variety of maneuvers and exercises, physiotherapy can help reduce or eliminate dizziness, improve balance, and restore physical function.

concussion
Concussion Physiotherapy
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that occurs when the brain is moved back and forth in the skull, often due to a force on the head, neck, or elsewhere on the body. Although it may accompany a trauma to the head, this is not required in order to sustain a concussion.

Symptoms of a concussion can include headache, dizziness and balance problems, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, visual disturbances, sensitivity to light and noise, emotional changes, confusion and brain fog. These symptoms are often accompanied by neck pain, and can be immediate or delayed.

Physiotherapy treatment is crucial in ensuring a safe, timely return to play or other high-risk activities and preventing persistent concussion symptoms. Your physiotherapist will use a combination of rest and activity modification, visual/vestibular exercises, and graded exposure to physical activity to ensure your complete recovery.

Advanced Manual Therapy
Research has proven that manual therapy can help to control your pain and improve your ability to perform functional activities. Advanced manual therapy involves specialized hands-on treatments applied by CAMPT-certified physiotherapists. Techniques such as mobilizations, soft-tissue release work and manipulations have demonstrable benefits for reducing muscle pain and tension, and for restoring normal joint movement.
