Services
Orthopaedic Physiotherapy
Specialized treatment for muscle and joint injuries, including sprains, strains, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists assess movement patterns, identify pain sources, and develop personalized recovery plans. This service addresses neck/back pain, repetitive strain injuries, and joint conditions through manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education to restore function and prevent recurrence.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Advanced treatment for balance disorders and vertigo caused by inner ear dysfunction. Our therapists with 10+ years of vestibular rehabilitation experience conduct comprehensive assessments to identify dizziness causes. Treatment includes customized exercises and repositioning techniques to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and enhance overall mobility for patients with chronic balance issues or post-concussion symptoms.
Custom Orthotics
Biomechanical foot assessments followed by custom orthotic fabrication to optimize foot alignment and function. These personalized devices redistribute pressure, correct abnormal motion, and improve lower limb efficiency. The service includes gait analysis, 3D casting, and follow-up adjustments to address foot pain, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance while ensuring proper footwear integration.
Acupuncture
Anatomical acupuncture administered by licensed physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal conditions. This evidence-based practice involves inserting sterile needles at specific points to stimulate muscles, nerves, and connective tissues. The service targets pain reduction, inflammation control, and muscle tension release, often integrated with conventional physiotherapy techniques for enhanced recovery outcomes in treating chronic pain and acute injuries.
Osteoporosis Management
Comprehensive program combining strength training, posture correction, and fall prevention strategies for individuals with bone density loss. Our physiotherapists design safe exercise regimens to improve bone strength, enhance balance, and reduce fracture risk. The service includes movement education, activity modification guidance, and progressive loading exercises to maintain independence and improve quality of life for osteoporosis patients.
Questions
What should I bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?
Bring your physician's contact information, current medications list, other healthcare providers' details, and appropriate clothing like t-shirts and shorts for assessment.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy treatment?
No referral is required as physiotherapists are primary care practitioners, though sharing your doctor's diagnosis can enhance treatment coordination.
What physiotherapy services does Manitoba Health cover?

How often should I see a physiotherapist for maintenance?
Annual check-ups before doctor visits help monitor physical health, with more frequent sessions recommended during active rehabilitation programs.
