HOW WE DO IT

Physiotherapy Techniques

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment method that targets joints, muscles, and soft tissues to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore functional movement. Ideal for musculoskeletal issues, it helps alleviate stiffness and discomfort while promoting long-term recovery and flexibility.

Exercise Therapy

Exercise therapy is a personalized rehabilitation program that improves strength, flexibility, and mobility. Tailored to your specific condition, it helps prevent future injuries, restore functionality, and support the recovery process, enhancing overall movement and physical performance.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an effective treatment that uses fine needles to target muscle trigger points, reducing pain, muscle tension, and improving flexibility. This technique is ideal for treating chronic pain, myofascial pain syndrome, and muscle imbalances, accelerating recovery and restoring normal muscle function.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping uses specialized elastic tape to support muscles, joints, and ligaments, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. Often used for sports injuries, rehabilitation, and chronic conditions, it provides joint stability, alleviates discomfort, and encourages faster healing through improved circulation and support.

Athletic Taping

Athletic taping is a technique where adhesive tape is applied to joints and muscles to enhance stability, prevent injuries, and accelerate recovery during physical activity. It supports injured areas, reduces strain, and helps athletes maintain peak performance while minimizing the risk of further injury.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses suction cups to create a vacuum effect, increasing blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and reducing pain. This ancient technique is particularly effective for treating chronic pain, muscle soreness, and promoting faster recovery by improving tissue flexibility and oxygen flow.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep tissues, accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, and relieving muscle and joint pain. It’s ideal for treating soft tissue injuries, tendonitis, and chronic pain conditions, providing non-invasive pain relief while improving circulation and tissue regeneration.

Electrical Stimulation (TENS, EMS)

Electrical stimulation, including TENS and EMS, uses electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and muscles, offering effective pain relief, promoting muscle re-education, and enhancing circulation. Perfect for treating pain, muscle weakness, and improving post-surgery recovery, this technique accelerates rehabilitation and supports overall recovery.

Heat and Cold Therapy

Heat and cold therapy are effective methods for managing pain and inflammation. Cold therapy reduces swelling and acute pain, while heat therapy relaxes muscles, improves circulation, and speeds up healing. These treatments are essential for injury recovery, inflammation control, and chronic pain management.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a specialized treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues. Through targeted exercises and techniques, VRT improves coordination, reduces dizziness, and restores balance, making it an essential treatment for individuals with inner ear disorders or neurological conditions affecting balance.

Functional Movement Screening (FMS)

Functional movement screening (FMS) is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates movement patterns to identify injury risks and improve athletic performance. By uncovering weaknesses and imbalances, FMS helps guide personalized rehabilitation and performance-enhancing programs, reducing the risk of injury and optimizing physical function.

Dolphin Neuro Stim

Dolphin Neuro Stim therapy uses advanced electrical stimulation technology to reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue healing. Ideal for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and rehabilitation, it enhances tissue regeneration, promotes muscle relaxation, and offers non-invasive, effective pain relief for faster recovery and improved mobility.

Physiotherapy FAQ

Do you offer direct billing to insurance?

Yes! we offer direct billing to most insurance companies. We recommend that you contact your insurance company before treatment to confirm your coverage.

What conditions can physiotherapy treat?

Our physiotherapists help with injuries, post-surgery rehab, chronic pain, mobility issues, and more (e.g., back pain, sports injuries, arthritis).

What does physiotherapy do?

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It uses evidence-based techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation and acupuncture or dry needling. Physiotherapy is also a proactive approach to prevent injury and promote long-term physical health and mobility. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or healing from a sports injury, physiotherapy provides personalized care to get you moving and feeling your best.

How does physiotherapy work?

Physiotherapy works by assessing your movement patterns, identifying areas of dysfunction or pain, and creating a customized treatment plan to restore mobility and strength. Physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercises, and patient education to address the root cause of the issue. The goal is not just to relieve symptoms, but to improve long-term function and prevent recurrence. Regular physiotherapy sessions can also promote faster healing and reduce the need for surgery or medications.

What is the difference between chiropractor and physiotherapy?

While both physiotherapists and chiropractors treat musculoskeletal issues, their approaches and training differ. Physiotherapists use a broad range of techniques including manual therapy, targeted exercises, and rehabilitation plans to improve movement and function. Chiropractors often focus on spinal adjustments and manipulations to align the body and relieve pain. Physiotherapy tends to take a more holistic and exercise-based approach to recovery, while chiropractic care often centers around spinal alignment and nervous system health. Both professions can be complementary depending on your needs.

What is the difference between a kinesiologist a physiotherapist?

A kinesiologist treats injuries during sport or training and often focuses on fitness, performance, and injury prevention. A physiotherapist, on the other hand, is a regulated healthcare professional trained to diagnose and treat injuries (including sport injuries), illnesses, and physical conditions. Physiotherapists can work with complex rehabilitation needs, use manual therapy, and develop clinical treatment plans. While kinesiologists can support rehabilitation and wellness, physiotherapists offer a more comprehensive scope of practice for injury recovery and medical conditions.

What is the difference between occupational therapy and physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy often work together but serve different purposes. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring physical movement and treating musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery. Occupational therapy helps individuals regain the ability to perform daily tasks and improve their quality of life despite their illness, injury, or disability. For example, a physiotherapist may help someone regain strength and balance after a stroke, while an occupational therapist helps them relearn how to dress or cook safely at home.

Who is physiotherapy for?

Physiotherapy is for people of all ages—from children to seniors—who are experiencing pain, injury, limited mobility, or chronic conditions. It’s ideal for athletes recovering from sports injuries, workers with repetitive strain issues, individuals managing arthritis or neurological conditions, and anyone needing post-surgical rehabilitation. Whether you're dealing with acute pain or looking to prevent future injury, physiotherapy provides personalized, evidence-based care tailored to your goals.

What if physiotherapy is not working?

If physiotherapy doesn’t seem to be working, it’s important to speak with your physiotherapist. Progress may take time depending on the condition, and treatment plans can often be adjusted to better suit your needs. Your physiotherapist may recommend additional assessments, try different techniques, or collaborate with other healthcare providers like physicians or specialists. At our clinic, we prioritize ongoing communication and patient feedback to ensure your treatment remains effective and goal-focused.

How does physiotherapy help back pain?

Physiotherapy helps back pain by identifying the root cause of discomfort—whether it's from posture, muscle imbalances, disc issues, or injury—and applying targeted treatments. This may include manual therapy, core stabilization exercises, mobility work, and postural education. Physiotherapists also teach self-management strategies to prevent recurrence. With regular physiotherapy, many people experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and a better quality of life without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures.

Can physiotherapy help sciatica pain?

Yes, physiotherapy can be highly effective for sciatica. Physiotherapists use specialized techniques to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, ease pain, and restore normal movement. Treatment often includes gentle stretching, strengthening exercises, posture correction, and manual therapy to alleviate symptoms. By addressing the underlying cause—such as a herniated disc or piriformis syndrome—physiotherapy not only relieves pain but helps prevent future flare-ups of sciatica.
