Physiotherapy

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.

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.

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.

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.

This program is designed for anyone who loves to or wants to run! It is great for new runners wanting to create a solid running foundation. But this program is also geared towards runners across all levels of experience who are dealing with pain or injury, for athletes looking to maximize their running efficiency and improve their technique and for the postpartum runner looking to return to running safely.

Clients will begin with a detailed assessment and running analysis on the treadmill to determine what changes are needed to help them run their best! Based on the assessment findings, an individualized training plan will be created.  The plan may consist of cues to improve their running technique, a targeted strengthening program to address an underlying muscle imbalance or weakness, mobility work, education on proper footwear or a combination of any of the above.

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.

Mulligan Mobilizations are a type of manual therapy technique used by chiropractors and physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal pain. The technique involves a specific type of passive movement of the affected joint, which is repeated several times in a specific direction. The goal of the technique is to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal movement patterns.

Mulligan mobilizations are beneficial because they are a gentle, yet effective manual therapy technique that can help to improve joint range of motion, decrease pain, and improve function. They can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including muscle strains, joint sprains, and joint dysfunction. They are also easy to perform and do not require any special equipment.
