Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal pain, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions through manual therapy, exercise programs, and modalities. We treat neck/back pain, sports injuries, and work-related strains using evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs. Our approach combines hands-on treatment with patient education to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Specialized pelvic floor rehabilitation treats urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and related conditions through biofeedback, manual techniques, and muscle re-education. We address both women's and men's health issues with private, one-on-one sessions focusing on restoring normal pelvic function and improving quality of life through non-invasive methods.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release therapy alleviates chronic pain and mobility restrictions by applying sustained pressure to connective tissues. This technique effectively treats pelvic pain, headaches, and postural imbalances through gentle manipulation that restores tissue elasticity and reduces nerve compression while promoting natural healing processes.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. This traditional Chinese medicine technique effectively manages chronic pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal conditions while promoting relaxation and improving circulation without pharmaceutical side effects.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy addresses muscle tension, sports injuries, and stress-related conditions through various techniques including deep tissue work and trigger point therapy. Our treatments improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance recovery from injuries while promoting overall wellness through hands-on therapeutic intervention.

Report
Great clinic, friendly staff. Marie-Antoinette is a fantastic physio. She also does acupuncture which was very useful in my case.
