What can Physiotherapists Help you with?

  • Physiotherapy can help you pinpoint and understand the root of your pain, and work toward lowering your symptoms.

  • If you are scheduled for surgery, physiotherapy prehab is a great way to set yourself up for a solid recovery by working on exercises that build up your muscles specific to your surgery. Post-surgery, physiotherapy can help you gain back your range of motion, strength and confidence so that you can get back to life and sport prior to injury.

  • Our concussion physiotherapy clinic offers specialized rehabilitation programs tailored to each individual's unique symptoms and needs. Through a combination of targeted exercises, balance training, and manual therapy techniques, we aim to address physical symptoms such as dizziness, balance issues, and neck pain commonly associated with concussions. Our experienced physiotherapists provide comprehensive care to support recovery and facilitate a safe return to normal activities.

  • If you have experienced an injury in your day to day life, in sport or in an accident, physiotherapists can help you with your recovery by getting you back to pre-injury movement and improve your overall quality of life.
