Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues in the body. This includes muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy may help to alleviate the discomfort associated with occupational stresses, muscular over-use and chronic pain conditions.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a patient-centred, non-invasive, hands-on, regulated health care profession focused on your spine, muscles, joints and nervous system.

Active Release Technique (ART)
Active Release Therapy (ART), also called Active Release Technique, is a non-invasive manual therapy technique that works to correct soft tissue restrictions that cause pain and mobility issues. The goal is to break down scar tissue and adhesions in order to optimize function in the body. The technique can be applied to both acute and chronic conditions involving the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia.
Concussion Care
Post-concussion rehabilitation includes a thorough musculoskeletal and neurological assessment to determine the root causes of the symptoms the patient is experiencing. Your Physiotherapist will work with you to create a treatment plan consisting of evidence-based recommendations including providing education on rest and recovery as well as assisting with transition back to school and sports/activity. Post-concussion rehab involves training the oculomotor, vestibular, balance, musculoskeletal and autonomic systems to assist patients in their recovery.

Shockwave is proven effective for treating several conditions including, Tennis Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, hip pain, shoulder pain and many more.
Laser Therapy
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is used by some physiotherapists to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. LLLT is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration.
Laser therapy can safely treat pain by influencing and increase the metabolic activity of cells. Relieve pain by reducing swelling from bruising or inflammation. Increase circulation to damaged cell sites. Minimize scar formation from surgery, cuts, burns, etc.

Our therapist follows the NDT (NeuroDevelopmental Treatment) model which is a clinical practice model informed by research that emphasizes individualized therapeutic handling based on movement analysis. This therapy uses guided or facilitated movements as a treatment strategy to ensure correlation of input from tactile, vestibular, and somatosensory receptors within the body.
