What We Offer
Postural Education
Poor posture can contribute to many problems and misalignments.Emphasizing proper posture and teaching exercises to attribute to postural improvements can have enormous benefits in alleviating symptoms and pain and achieving good spinal mobility.
Mechanical Traction
Mechanical Traction has been shown to be highly effective in reducing the size of a disc herniation, decreasing pain intensity and faster return to full activity. In many cases surgical intervention may be avoided.Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is best described as intentional movement or activities that prevent or remediate impairments and injuries of the body. With the proper approach to prescribing specific exercises, the client can experience the beneficial effects of exercise intervention namely reducing post-injury related complications, pain, restriction, and swelling. The use of therapeutic exercise is also extremely helpful when trying to enhance the client’s activity participation, reduce health risks, optimize overall health, improve fitness, improve physical function, and improving general well-being.Anti-inflammatory Treatment
This is a treatment that involves specific modalities that can be utilized in a presence of swelling/inflammation. It can also be useful in breaking up adhesions, as well as in improving scar mobility and strength after an injury.Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy is a specific technique that uses hands-on treatment. It involves moving specific joints/spinal segments to restore any biomechanical restrictions. It is a very safe yet effective technique that requires advanced and specialized training. It promotes good quality of movement and it helps improve muscle tone and flexibility.C.Gunn IMS
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is an effective treatment for chronic pain of neuropathic origin. Based on scientific and neuro-physiological principles, it is a technique that uses acupuncture needles to reduce adverse muscle tone and muscle shortening that can cause pain and dysfunction. Practitioners that administer this technique must obtain proper certification.Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in the Orient. It uses fine needles that enable flow of body energy, which helps to relieve pain and discomfort, as well as stimulates the body’s natural healing ability. There are three ways of implementing acupuncture: usage of needles, cupping and moxibustion. Cupping (heat treatment) can be used to enhance the healing by eliminating excessive heat in the body, moxibustion to the cintray is a specific technique that adds heat to the body. Certified acupuncturists can successfully treat a number of ailments and conditions.FMS
Functional Movement Systems (FMS) is a measurement technique which examines and identifies faulty movement patterns which result in reduced physical performance. The FMS screen assesses 7 specific movement patterns in order to identify and explain to clients the impact of mobility, motor control, and functional patterns needed for their physical recovery. By using FMS results, professionals are able to create a customized exercise program for the client to resolve faulty movements and to heal completely.Vestibular Physiotherapy
Problems with dizziness, imbalance and vertigo can be assessed and successfully treated by a physiotherapist who has additional training in vestibular conditions. Specific inner ear and vestibular nerve exercises, canalith repositioning maneuvers, balance exercises, as well as cervical manual therapy can all help to improve imbalances and reduce unsettling symptoms. The most commonly treated vestibular condition is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, usually referred to as BPPV. Other conditions include vestibular neuritis and post-concussion vertigo and dizziness.
