Services

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a regulated rehabilitation profession. Physiotherapists work towards returning mobility and function of the injured patient. We also strongly promote a proactive approach for injury and disease prevention. Physiotherapists often deal with patients experiencing pain or functional limitations whether it is in your back or neck, or in any other joint such as the hips, knees, wrists, shoulders or ankles.

Physiotherapists can treat many different areas such as: orthopedics, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, neurology, vestibular dysfunction, womens health/pelvic floor and pediatrics. Physiotherapy treatment can include, but is not limited to: education, manual therapy (hands on therapy), exercise programs, acupuncture, dry needling, modalities such as heat, ice, shockwave, TENS, STIM, ultrasound, and return to work programs.

Physiotherapists address the body as a whole to work towards improving strength, balance, coordination, neural tension, muscle tension, joint mobility, and overall cardiorespiratory function.

Treatments may include

Dry Needling: Dry needling uses the same type of needle as an acupuncture needle, however the technique is different. Dry needling places the needle in a taught band, termed a trigger point, in the muscle. The goal of dry needling is to decrease pain and promote healing by increasing blood flow and releasing tension to improve the function of the muscle.

Anatomical Acupuncture: Acupuncture works by placing needles in specific anatomical spots in the body (acupuncture points) to help to reset your Qi (pronounced "chee"). Qi is a balanced flow of energy throughout your system. Often time, this balance is disrupted due to injuries or an illness. The needle stimulates the release of endorphins, which are pain relieving hormones naturally produced in the body. This will encourage healing and can help with pain relief. Our focus with anatomical acupuncture is treating the musculoskeletal system as it is performed by a physical therapist.

Vestibular Rehabilitation: Vertigo and dizziness are common problems and can occur for a variety of different reasons. Some causes of vertigo or dizziness are treatable with physical therapy. Our training has taught us to assess the vestibular system as well as the cervical spine (neck) and surrounding areas to determine the primary cause for your limitations.

Manual Therapy: Manual therapy is hands on techniques used by physiotherapists. This commonly includes joint mobilizations (a graded method of moving a joint) or soft tissue release to restore range of motion and function.

Exercise Therapy: Physiotherapy has a strong emphasis on restoring muscle imbalances to improve strength, coordination and balance. A plan will be specifically designed for you based on your needs.

Womens Pelvic Floor Therapy: Pelvic floor physiotherapy primarily focuses on the areas of the abdomen, low back, pelvis and hips. It involves a comprehensive assessment of both the internal (if warranted) and external musculature, joints, ligaments and connective tissue. This information is used to treat issues of pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, prolapse, pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)

RMT uses evidence-based manual techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and support physical recovery. Treatments are tailored to individual needs and may range from rehabilitative to relaxation-focused, helping to promote overall physical and mental well-being.

Commonly helps with: muscle pain and general tension, stress and nervous system overload, injury prevention and recovery, headaches, neck and shoulder discomfort.

Manual Osteopathic Therapy (MOT)

MOT is a gentle, hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on supporting the body's natural ability to heal and self-regulate. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, osteopathic treatment looks at the body as an interconnected whole, where structure, movement, circulation, and the nervous system work together.

Using precise manual techniques, MOT helps improve mobility, reduce pain restore balance, and support overall health for people of ages, including infants and children.

Techniques used in MOT

Osteoarticulations: Gentle, rhythmic movements applied to joints and surrounding issues to improve mobility and alignment. Commonly helps with: joint stiffness and restricted movement, neck/back/pelvic pain, postural strain, reduced range of motion after injury or surgery.

Myofascial Release: A soft-tissue technique that works with muscles and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs) to release tension and restrictions. Commonly helps with: muscle tightness and chronic pain, headaches and jaw tension, postural imbalances, sports or repetitive strain injuries.

Visceral Therapy: Gentle manual techniques applied to the organs and surrounding tissues to improve mobility, circulation and function. Commonly helps with: digestive concerns (bloating, constipation, reflux), abdominal or pelvic tension, menstrual discomfort, post-surgical adhesions.

CranioSacral Therapy: A subtle, calming approach that focuses on the nervous system by working with the head, spine, and sacrum. Commonly helps with: headaches and migraines, stress and nervous system regulation, concussion recovery, infant concerns such as tension, feeding difficulties, and torticollis.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage: A light, rhythmic technique that supports the lymphatic system to improve fluid movement and immune function. Commonly helps with: swelling and fluid retention, post-surgical recovery, chronic inflammation, fatigue and immune support.

RAPID NeuroFascial Reset

RAPID is a neurologically based soft-tissue technique that works directly with the nervous system to locate and release the source of pain, tension, and restriction. Using precise palpation and movement, RAPID helps the brain recognize and release dysfunctional tissue patterns, often creating rapid and lasting change.

Commonly helps with: chronic pain and unresolved injuries, muscle guarding and protective tension, nerve-related pain or hypersensitivity, scar tissue and post-surgical restrictions, acute injuries and limited range of motion.

Billing

WCB: We are currently not accepting workplace injuries at this time.

Extended Health Benefits

Most extended health plans will cover physical therapy; however, the extent of coverage varies from plan to plan. Some plans will cover a dollar amount, others a percentage per treatment. By simply calling your insurance company you can determine the amount of coverage you may have and if your company will allow direct billing of your treatments. Our experience is that we are able to direct bill most insurance companies. If your extended health plan does not accept direct billing, we will be happy to provide you with a receipt to pay and submit for reimbursement, or you can save the receipt for tax purposes.

Private Payment

Private payment is available for all services if you do not have extended health coverage, have reached your plan limits, or prefer not to bill through insurance. Payment is due at the end of each appointment, and we will provide a receipt for your records or for self-submission to your insurer where applicable.

Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA)

Directly following your MVA:

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident it is important to contact your insurance company immediately. We will provide an assessment to determine your diagnosis, which will determine the amount of treatment you will be approved for. MVA patients can qualify for up to 21 sessions occurring over a 90-day period from the date of accident. During this time, we are able to direct bill your car insurance company.

Section B Treatment Coverage:

Depending on your diagnosis or if you have fallen outside of the initial 90-day window, treatment is available upon approval from your insurance company. Direct billing may be available to you at this time; however, approval is required by your insurance company.

FAQ

What can I expect during the physical therapy assessment?

Your assessment will begin by going through a detailed injury and health history; this takes approximately 20 minutes. We will then perform an objective examination of the injury site. Using information obtained in both the history and objective examination, we will be able to determine a diagnosis. We will provide education on your diagnosis, prognosis (outcome) and treatment plan that is tailored to you. If you agree with the plan, and time is permitting, we will start treatment on the first day. Please expect to be in the assessment for approximately 1 hour and come in active wear that allows you to move freely and visualize the affected body site.

Great news, you do not. We are primary healthcare providers, meaning you can access us directly without a referral. That said, some insurance companies still require referrals to allow claiming our services.
