Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy assesses and treats injuries and physical dysfunctions through individualized plans. Our therapists use healing modalities, manual therapy, and exercise instruction to restore mobility and prevent re-injury. We specialize in concussion rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, and neurological condition management, emphasizing client education and home exercise programs to maximize recovery outcomes.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy addresses pain and stress from soft tissue injuries using techniques like Swedish massage, myofascial release, and acupressure. Our therapists create customized treatment plans for conditions such as headaches, tendonitis, and whiplash, focusing on safe, effective recovery. Sessions integrate hydrotherapy and stretching to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.
Aquatherapy
Aquatherapy leverages water's buoyancy to reduce joint stress while building strength and managing pain. Conducted in a pool, sessions include guided exercises tailored to clinic-based treatment plans. This therapy benefits arthritis, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical recovery, combining physical conditioning with neurological retraining in a calming, low-impact environment.
Concussion Management
Our concussion management program includes neurocognitive testing, balance assessments, and vestibular rehabilitation. Therapists use the SHIFT Concussion Management protocol to address symptoms like dizziness and headaches, guiding clients through graduated return-to-sport/work plans. Education on baseline testing and post-injury care ensures comprehensive recovery for athletes and active individuals.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers energy waves to stimulate healing for chronic tendon, muscle, and bone issues. This non-invasive treatment targets conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, achieving 75-95% success rates. Sessions last 20-30 minutes weekly over 3-6 weeks, integrating with broader rehab plans to accelerate recovery without surgery or medication.

Report
I had an excellent Physio Therapy session with Stella via Zoom (video call) for recovery exercises of my dislocated shoulder. Those live 1-on-1 video sessions are not only 100% COVID save but also allow me to do the sessions from anywhere in the world (no commute time, no waiting time). I can highly recommend ProActive Rehab. The price is also very reasonable. I will continue to book video sessions until I'm fully recovered.

Stacey has been very thorough and attentive. The exercises she has assigned me are challenging and helpful, but not too hard. She is kind and helpful. I would recommend Pro Active to my friends.

Everyone that I met at Proactive Rehab this morning was very professional in their interactions with me. My assessment was very thorough and helpful. I came away with a complete set of exercises and a daily schedule to follow to use them. I received in depth instructions and had an opportunity to try them for the therapist to see and to correct the various movements. I now have videos of the correct way to do the exercises in case I forget the oral instructions. I was very pleased with the outcome all in all. Thank you, Leslie Tempest.
