Physiotherapy
Our registered physiotherapists use manual therapy, exercise prescription, and advanced modalities to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Treatment plans address conditions like back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery through personalized care. With expertise in gait analysis and biomechanics, we help patients regain mobility and prevent future injuries.
Sports Medicine
Led by Dr. Daphne Anderson, our sports medicine department specializes in injury prevention and performance optimization. Services include concussion management, surgical referrals, and coordinated care between physiotherapists and physicians. We treat both professional athletes and active individuals seeking to return to peak physical condition.

Specialized physiotherapy addressing pelvic floor dysfunction for men and women. Treatments target conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and post-partum recovery through manual therapy and biofeedback. Our therapists provide compassionate care for sensitive health issues affecting quality of life.
