Services

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal injuries through manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and advanced equipment like spinal decompression tables. Treatments focus on pain reduction, improved mobility, and functional recovery for conditions including back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Each session includes personalized assessment and targeted interventions to accelerate healing.

Massage Therapy

Registered massage therapy combines deep tissue manipulation, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to treat chronic pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Our therapists use modalities like shockwave and cold laser therapy alongside traditional techniques to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore musculoskeletal function through condition-specific treatment plans.

Acupuncture

Certified acupuncture treatments utilize thin needles to stimulate healing points for pain management and neurological conditions. This evidence-based practice addresses migraines, nerve entrapments, and chronic pain by promoting natural healing responses while integrating safely with other rehabilitation therapies for enhanced recovery outcomes.

Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy accelerates tissue repair through high-energy acoustic waves that stimulate blood flow and cell regeneration. Clinically proven for plantar fasciitis and tendon injuries, this non-invasive treatment breaks down scar tissue while providing rapid pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions resistant to conventional therapies.

Spinal Decompression

Computer-controlled spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve nerve compression caused by herniated discs or degenerative conditions. This traction-based therapy creates negative disc pressure to promote nutrient flow, reduce inflammation, and alleviate chronic back/neck pain without surgical intervention.

Guelph Rehab is absolutely amazing and I cannot say enough good things. During my consult I met with Dave and Shannon. They are extremely knowledgeable, thorough and very kind. They validated everything I have been feeling for years and put me on a treatment plan to get me strong and on the road to recovery. I am only two sessions in, and the pain I had been experiencing has greatly diminished. My range of motion and mobility have drastically improved and my symptoms have also decreased.

Dave and his team were amazing! (knowledgeable, experienced and friendly). I've had low back pain for years and nothing helped. I was able to get an assessment right away and received such great care from the second I got there. They are truly unique in their approach to treatment and I saw results immediately. I also loved that they were able to bill my insurance company directly. Thank you Guelph Rehab Centre!
