Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves skilled hands-on techniques to mobilize joints, soft tissues, and muscles, restoring mobility and reducing pain. Our physiotherapists use this approach to treat spinal and peripheral joint issues, addressing biomechanical dysfunctions. Patients benefit from improved range of motion, decreased stiffness, and accelerated recovery through targeted interventions.
Sports Rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation focuses on treating sports-related injuries and enhancing athletic performance. Our team employs sport-specific exercises, injury prevention strategies, and functional training. Athletes recover from conditions like ligament tears, muscle strains, and post-surgical rehabilitation, returning to their sport with optimized strength and resilience.
Vestibular Rehab
Vestibular rehabilitation addresses dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by inner ear dysfunction. Using specialized exercises and infrared goggles for assessment, we treat conditions like BPPV and vestibular migraines. Patients experience reduced symptoms, improved stability, and regained confidence in daily activities.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle pain and tension. Our physiotherapists insert fine needles into affected areas, promoting relaxation and healing. This technique effectively treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural dysfunctions, complementing other therapeutic interventions for comprehensive care.
Concussion Management
Concussion management involves a multidisciplinary approach to assess and treat post-concussion symptoms. We use vestibular therapy, cognitive rest strategies, and gradual return-to-activity protocols. Patients recover from headaches, dizziness, and cognitive impairments, ensuring safe reintegration into work, school, or sports.
