Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address neuromusculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neurological conditions through manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced techniques like acupuncture. Tailored treatment plans focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving overall function for patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders, particularly spinal issues. Our chiropractors use hands-on adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises to alleviate pain, improve joint function, and support the body's natural healing processes.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized rehabilitation programs target sports-related injuries like sprains, strains, and fractures. Combining manual therapy, strength training, and sport-specific exercises, we help athletes regain performance levels while preventing re-injury through biomechanical assessments and personalized recovery strategies.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation restores mobility and strength after procedures like joint replacements or ligament repairs. Our therapists develop phased recovery plans integrating gentle mobilization, scar management, and progressive exercises to optimize healing and functional independence.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation addresses dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders through customized exercises and manual techniques. This evidence-based approach improves gaze stability, reduces fall risk, and restores inner ear function for patients experiencing chronic balance issues or concussion-related symptoms.

Questions
What should I expect during my first physiotherapy session?
Your initial assessment includes symptom history review, physical examination of posture and mobility, and discussion of findings. You'll receive immediate exercises and self-management techniques with time for questions.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Wear loose clothing like t-shirts and shorts for easy access to injured areas. Bring any medical referrals, imaging reports, or post-surgical protocols for documentation.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
No referral is required as physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers. However, some insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
Treatment duration depends on injury complexity. Acute injuries typically require fewer sessions, while chronic conditions need longer-term management plans tailored to individual recovery progress.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, cheque, debit, and credit card payments. Direct billing is available for most extended health insurance plans, with motor vehicle and workplace injury claims billed directly to insurers.
