Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a health care profession focused on preventing and managing pain, physical impairments, disabilities and health conditions that may limit participation in work, sport or daily activities and affect your quality of life. Physiotherapy treatment aims to help you move well, feel well, and be well!
Physiotherapy can include a number of different modalities, and at it's core the goal of treatment is to help decrease pain, and get you moving better and feeling better so you can live with more ease, confidence and strength.
Physiotherapists have in-depth training in anatomy, physiology and human movement providing them the knowledge and skills to assess, treat and manage a wide variety of conditions and injuries. Physiotherapists understand movement and they know how to get you moving and keep you moving!
Our Registered Physiotherapists also have training and experience in some specialized areas of physiotherapy including;
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is a hands-on therapeutic treatment that is used to help address injury, health conditions and improve general health & wellness.
Massage therapists work on soft tissue to treat and prevent dysfunction and pain, and to maintain, rehabilitate and improve physical function.
Registered Massage Therapists are health care professionals who have graduated from an accredited school and met the requirements of the CMTO (College of Massage Therapists of Ontario). They must continue to meet the standards of the CMTO to maintain their registration.
Whether it’s for general health and wellness, to recover from injury or address pain, massage therapy has so many benefits.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a hands on therapy that aims to help the body heal itself and return to its balance.
Osteopathy takes into consideration the whole body, all its moving parts and systems during assessment and treatment. Osteopathy believes structure and function are interrelated, and treatment aims to address structure to improve blood flow, lymphatics and function.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use their deep understanding of anatomy and physiology in concert with their highly attuned palpation skills to detect and treat restrictions and dis-ease in the body, aiming to treat the cause of symptoms rather than just temporarily reducing them.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the study of human movement, performance and function. It incorporates the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology and neuroscience.
Kinesiologists are University trained regulated health care professionals who use their knowledge of movement, biomechanics and physiology to help people prevent and recover from injury, manage health conditions and improve function, performance and quality of life!
Our Kinesiologist works one-on-one with you to create an exercise program that is specific to your needs and goals.
Kinesiologists use movement to help people move well, live well and be well!
