Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy services focus on restoring mobility and reducing pain through hands-on treatment. We address sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic conditions using manual therapy, exercise programs, and modalities like ultrasound. Each treatment plan emphasizes functional recovery and injury prevention while incorporating patient-specific goals. Our therapists combine clinical expertise with compassionate care to support long-term wellness.

Pelvic Health

Specialized pelvic health physiotherapy treats bladder and bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain, and pre/postnatal care. Our therapists use internal assessments and tailored exercises to address muscle imbalances. Treatment includes biofeedback, manual therapy, and education on lifestyle modifications. We serve patients of all genders with conditions ranging from incontinence to post-prostatectomy recovery in a supportive environment.

Massage Therapy

Registered massage therapists provide relief for musculoskeletal pain, stress-related tension, and injury recovery. Techniques include deep tissue work, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Sessions improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. We adapt treatments for conditions like fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related discomfort while prioritizing patient comfort.

Vestibular Rehab

Vestibular rehabilitation addresses dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders through targeted exercises. Therapists use canalith repositioning maneuvers and gaze stabilization techniques to improve inner ear function. Treatment plans enhance postural control and reduce fall risk by retraining brain-body coordination. We address conditions like BPPV and concussion-related dizziness with personalized protocols.

Pediatric Pelvic Health

We specialize in treating bedwetting, daytime incontinence, and bowel dysfunction in children. Therapy combines biofeedback, toileting schedules, and family education to establish healthy habits. Our approach addresses behavioral patterns and muscle coordination issues while creating a supportive environment for young patients. Treatment empowers children to achieve bladder and bowel control through structured programs.

If I could recommend anything to someone who is pregnant or postpartum, Id recommend Nadia. She was such a blessing for me during pregnancy, she helped me with whatever I was struggling with while pregnant such as hip pain and helped me prepare for delivery. I delivered a 8 pound baby in 3 hours of active labour and 15 mins of pushing with very minimal damage and I definitely have Nadia to thank! I am now 2.5 months postpartum and Nadia has helped me through my recovery as well. I am so grateful I found Nadia when I did and couldnt recommend her enough!

I saw Keri for pelvic floor physiotherapy during pregnancy and postpartum. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring - I felt extremely comfortable with her at every appointment. I truly feel that pelvic floor physiotherapy should be part of every persons prenatal and postpartum care - not only did she help me become pain-free and back to normal function in the postpartum period, but I am confident that I will avoid future pelvic issues stemming from pregnancy and childbirth. She took the time to understand my current state and future goals and tailored an effective, efficient

Thomas is the MAN! He help save my back, neck and most recently a pec tear. He was able to diagnose and pinpoint my injuries with care and precision. I always felt huge leaps of progress after every visit. Also, everyone else that works at Body In Motion are super friendly and cool!

I heard of A Body in Motion through a friend and am so glad I went and was treated by Laura Holland. I went to see her during my pregnancy, for pre-labour prep, and following delivery and Laura was knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. She made me feel comfortable, helped me to understand my pelvic floor in a way that I felt more confident going into labour and recovering afterwards. I highly recommend going to see her if you need/want help!

Highly recommend this place. Because of covid restrictions I couldn't get the help on time, after my delivery, so I was already in lot of pain for quite some time.I was desperate when I when to Laura for postpartum pelvic floor/muscles recovery and it was the best decision for my recovery. My experience with Laura Holland has been wonderful, she was so compassionate, understanding and calm and made sure I was comfortable in all the sessions. She is very knowledgeable. She was professional and caring at the same. I can't thank her enough for my recovery :) she is awesome!!!
