Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists specialize in manual therapy and exercise programs for musculoskeletal conditions. We treat sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain using evidence-based techniques like spinal manipulation. Patients receive personalized care plans focused on restoring mobility and preventing future injuries through gradual strengthening programs.
Graston Technique
This instrument-assisted therapy addresses scar tissue and muscle adhesions using specialized metal tools. Our trained practitioners perform precise soft tissue mobilization to improve joint mobility and reduce pain from conditions like tendonitis and muscle spasms. The technique effectively restores normal tissue function while maintaining patient comfort during treatment sessions.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for vertigo and balance disorders using Frenzel Lens Technology. Our physiotherapist conducts comprehensive assessments of eye movements and musculoskeletal function to develop targeted repositioning techniques. This one-on-one therapy addresses conditions like BPPV through manual therapy and customized postural exercises for long-term symptom relief.
Concussion Management
Evidence-based rehabilitation following concussion injuries using Shift Concussion Management protocols. We provide graduated recovery plans combining cognitive rest strategies with physical therapy for neck pain and vestibular symptoms. Our approach includes exertion testing for safe return-to-sport protocols and personalized accommodations for work/school reintegration during recovery phases.
Custom Bracing
We provide advanced knee bracing solutions from leading manufacturers using lightweight, high-strength materials. These custom-fitted supports address joint instability and osteoarthritis while maintaining mobility. Our bracing specialists ensure proper fit and function for patients requiring additional joint support during daily activities or rehabilitation exercises.
