Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and modern technology to restore mobility and reduce pain. Certified therapists create individualized treatment plans addressing musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions. We utilize evidence-based approaches including joint mobilization, soft tissue release, and therapeutic modalities like ultrasound and laser therapy.
Acupuncture
Our certified practitioners use anatomical acupuncture to treat pain and inflammation by stimulating specific muscle points. This evidence-based approach combines traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern physiology understanding. Patients experience relief from chronic pain, headaches, and sports-related injuries through improved blood flow and nervous system regulation.
Vestibular Treatment
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders caused by inner ear dysfunction. Our therapists use vestibular rehabilitation techniques including gaze stabilization exercises, balance retraining, and positional maneuvers. This program effectively addresses vertigo, concussion-related symptoms, and chronic balance impairments through personalized exercise regimens.
Sports Injuries
Comprehensive care for acute and chronic sports-related injuries, from muscle strains to post-surgical recovery. Our approach combines manual therapy, sport-specific exercises, and injury prevention education. We treat athletes of all levels using techniques like dry needling, taping, and performance-focused rehabilitation programs to ensure safe return to activity.
Dry Needling
Certified physiotherapists use intramuscular stimulation to treat myofascial pain by targeting trigger points in muscles. This technique improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and promotes healing through micro-lesion creation. Patients experience rapid relief from chronic pain conditions, muscle spasms, and movement restrictions when combined with traditional physiotherapy.

If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. After approx 5 car accidents of no fault of my own, I have been seeing Aaron since 2011. He knows me better than I know myself mentally and physically. From the minute I am greeted to the minute I walk out. I feel supported and welcomed by receptionist to passing other staff and Aaron. We are moving to the south Okanagan and I left there thinking today, I would make the drive just to continue there. They are that amazing! Blessed be, thank you so much!

The receptionist is very personable and friendly. Jayden did a wonderful job. I left with pain in my two shoulders greatly reduced. Looking forward to the next session which hopefully will eliminate the pain altogether.

I have been seeing Aaron for years, he has helped he with so many things, bad knee, shoulder issues, broken wrist and the odd hip/back thing. Aaron and staff are always a pleasure to deal with. The office hours work great with my work schedule, and they go out of their way to help, when you have hurt yourself. I would be lost without Aaron, as he keeps me moving with my very physical job.

I have been going to Evan Moore for my Physiotherapy for almost a year now, and after having so much pain ( SI joint ) due to a MVA almost 3 years ago, I see so much Improvement, the plan he created has been helping me with my daily activities & work, it will take time but I'm sure I will have a full recovery. Im very grateful & I'm so glad I found Damini Physiotherapy I had tried others previously and had no results or felt any changes. The staff are all amazing and friendly, always greeting you with a smile. I highly recommend anyone needing
