Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Total Health Physio addresses musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and mobility limitations through evidence-based techniques. Our registered physiotherapists conduct comprehensive assessments to create individualized treatment plans incorporating manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education. Specialized programs target sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and workplace strain, utilizing our 1,300-square-foot gym space for functional recovery.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders using infrared video goggles for precise diagnosis. Our certified vestibular physiotherapists employ repositioning maneuvers and customized exercise programs to address inner ear dysfunction, improving stability and reducing symptoms of peripheral or central vestibular pathology.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy accelerates healing for musculoskeletal conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. High-energy acoustic waves stimulate tissue repair and reduce chronic pain, with sessions lasting 20 minutes and typically requiring 3-6 treatments. This technology promotes rapid recovery without downtime or side effects.
Custom Bracing
Certified specialists provide custom-fitted knee braces from leading brands like Donjoy and Ossur for ligament injuries and osteoarthritis. These medical-grade supports include lifetime warranties on carbon fiber frames and are backed by clinical research demonstrating effectiveness in joint stabilization and pain reduction during physical activity.
Concussion Management
Comprehensive concussion rehabilitation follows Complete Concussion Management protocols, combining neurocognitive testing with targeted physical and visual exercises. Certified practitioners develop stepwise return-to-play and return-to-work strategies, addressing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and concentration difficulties through multidisciplinary interventions.
