Services
Osteopathic Manual Therapy
This hands-on treatment addresses musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues through gentle manipulation of muscles, bones, and connective tissues. Our practitioners use techniques like myofascial release and cranio-sacral therapy to restore structural balance and enhance the body's self-regulating mechanisms. Patients experience reduced pain, improved circulation, and increased range of motion through personalized sessions lasting 45-60 minutes.
Athletic Therapy
Specialized care for sports-related injuries and performance optimization. Certified therapists employ functional movement analysis, soft tissue release, and targeted exercise programs to accelerate recovery from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. This service helps athletes regain strength, prevent re-injury, and return to peak performance levels through evidence-based rehabilitation protocols.
Counselling Sessions
Trauma-informed counselling integrates somatic awareness and emotional regulation techniques to address nervous system dysregulation. Sessions combine Dialectical Behavior Therapy, breathwork, and mindfulness practices to help clients process unresolved trauma, manage anxiety, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The approach emphasizes mind-body integration for lasting psychological resilience.
Somatic Experiencing
This body-oriented therapy resolves trauma held in the nervous system through gentle awareness-building and physiological regulation. Practitioners guide clients to track bodily sensations and complete self-protective responses interrupted during traumatic events. The process reduces symptoms of PTSD, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm while restoring natural regulatory capacities.
TPI Golf Assessments
Comprehensive biomechanical evaluations identify movement limitations affecting golf swing efficiency. Using video analysis and functional screening, therapists develop customized exercise programs to improve mobility, power transfer, and injury prevention. This service enhances athletic performance while reducing strain on joints and soft tissues during repetitive golf motions.
