TMJ Treatment
Specialized physiotherapy for temporomandibular joint disorders addresses muscle imbalances and disc displacement through manual techniques and targeted exercises. Our approach normalizes jaw muscle activity, reduces clenching, and restores proper joint function. Patients learn home exercises to maintain long-term relief from TMJ-related pain and dysfunction.
Migraine Relief
Comprehensive treatment for migraines and tension headaches combines cervical spine mobilization with postural correction techniques. We address musculoskeletal triggers through manual therapy and prescribe specific exercises to reduce frequency and intensity of headache episodes while improving overall neck mobility.
Spine Pain Therapy
Manual therapy for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine pain focuses on restoring proper joint mechanics and muscle balance. Our physiotherapists use osteopathic techniques combined with functional movement retraining to alleviate chronic back pain and prevent recurrence through improved biomechanics.

Targeted treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction employs manual mobilization techniques and core stabilization exercises. We address pelvic imbalances that contribute to lower back pain and mobility issues, restoring proper joint function and improving overall pelvic floor mechanics.

Private rooms so feels safer during Covid than shared space. Good Covid protocols. Dustin is a caring and knowledgeable physiotherapist.
