Physiotherapy

Tailored exercise programs designed to restore function, prevent recurrence, enhance recovery, and improve overall physical performance. May include stretching, strength training, balance, and proprioceptive work.

Evaluation of fundamental movement patterns (e.g., squatting, lunging, bending) to identify deficits in mobility, stability, or coordination that may contribute to injury or dysfunction.

Advanced, sport-specific assessment and treatment targeting recovery from athletic injuries. Focuses on performance enhancement, injury prevention, and return-to-play protocols.

An advanced form of flexibility training that combines passive stretching and isometric contractions to improve range of motion and muscular function. PNF stretching helps retrain the nervous system to allow greater mobility while enhancing muscle strength and coordination. Commonly used in both rehabilitation and athletic performance settings.

Manual techniques aimed at breaking down scar tissue and adhesions in soft tissue structures. Enhances circulation, reduces pain, and improves mobility.

Techniques to retrain the neuromuscular system and restore coordinated movement patterns following injury, surgery, or neurological conditions. Includes balance training, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), and proprioceptive exercises.

A technique that uses suction cups to lift and separate tissues, promoting increased blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and aiding in the removal of metabolic waste. Cupping can assist in releasing fascial restrictions, decreasing pain, and accelerating recovery from injury. It is often integrated with other manual therapies for enhanced therapeutic effect.

Application of elastic or rigid tape to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and enhance proprioception during activity or rehabilitation.

Manual pressure is applied to hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue (trigger points) to relieve tension, improve circulation, and reduce referred pain.

A specialized hands-on method to break up adhesions and scar tissue in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. ART restores normal movement and function, often used for overuse injuries.

A gentle, sustained pressure technique to stretch and release restrictions in the fascia, improving flexibility, circulation, and mobility. Can be therapist-guided or taught for self-care.

Also known as an “adjustment” or “manipulation,” this hands-on technique applies a specific force through a joint to restore motion and improve physical function. Often combined with soft tissue therapies for optimal results.

Involves gentle, controlled movements of joints to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and improve joint function. Especially beneficial post-injury or surgery.

Use of electrical stimulation to reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing in injured tissues. Often used as an adjunct to manual therapies.

Exercises that improve the body’s awareness of joint position and movement. Especially useful post-injury or for fall prevention in older adults.

Correction of poor postural habits through awareness training, strengthening, and mobility work to reduce strain on the spine and associated structures.

Specialized therapy for individuals with dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. Includes gaze stabilization, balance exercises, and habituation training.

Rehabilitation of walking patterns using corrective strategies, strength training, and mobility work, particularly after injury, surgery, or neurological impairment.

A treatment technique used to reduce persistent muscle tension and sensitivity. Also known as dry needling, IMS targets shortened or overactive muscles to help restore normal tone, improve mobility, and reduce pain. May be helpful for stress-related tension, headaches and migraines, as well as complex or persistent pain presentations. Performed by a Registered Physiotherapist certified in Gunn IMS.

A gentle, hands-on, osteopathically informed approach focused on supporting the body’s natural rhythms and reducing tension within the nervous system. May help with stress-related tension, headaches, complex or persistent pain presentations, and associated digestive or pelvic symptoms. Performed by a Registered Physiotherapist.

A handheld, instrument-assisted technique that delivers precise, low-force impulses to joints and surrounding tissues. This approach may help improve joint mobility, reduce muscular tension, and support nervous system regulation without the need for high-velocity manipulation. Performed by a Registered Physiotherapist.

A hands-on technique using specialized tools to assess and treat soft tissue restrictions. This approach may help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support tissue healing. Often used to address areas of chronic tightness, scar tissue, or movement limitation. Performed by a Registered Physiotherapist.
