Our Physiotherapy services

To support your unique needs and goals, we offer a range of physiotherapy assessment and treatment modalities.

Please note that a physiotherapy assessment is required to begin any rehabilitation program.

Exercise rehabilitation is fully integrated into your physiotherapy treatment plan and may include strength and conditioning, Pilates-based exercises, and ELDOA techniques. Programs are customized to your goals, preferences, and current abilities, with each session focused on improving strength, stability, mobility, coordination, balance, and body awareness.
Medical acupuncture is a modern, evidence-informed approach used by physiotherapists to help reduce pain, support tissue healing, and improve neuromuscular function. It is often incorporated into a physiotherapy plan to address muscle tension, joint pain, and movement-related dysfunction.
Dry needling is a technique used by physiotherapists to target myofascial trigger points and areas of muscle tension. By stimulating specific tissues, dry needling may help reduce pain, improve muscle activation, and restore normal movement patterns as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan.
TMJ physiotherapy addresses dysfunction of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, which may contribute to jaw pain, headaches, neck tension, clicking, or restricted movement. Treatment may include manual therapy, movement retraining, posture correction, and education.
Vestibular physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, and conditions related to the inner ear and nervous system. Treatment may include gaze stabilization, balance training, and movement-based exercises tailored to your symptoms and tolerance.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on assessing and treating dysfunction related to the pelvic floor muscles. Treatment may help with bladder or bowel concerns, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related changes, and postnatal recovery, using a respectful and individualized approach.
Sports physiotherapy is designed for active individuals and athletes managing sport-related injuries or performance limitations. Treatment combines manual therapy, movement retraining, and progressive exercise to support safe return to activity and long-term resilience.
Gait and running analysis evaluates how you move during walking or running to identify inefficiencies or contributing factors to pain or injury. Findings are used to guide rehabilitation strategies, technique adjustments, and targeted strengthening.
ELDOA is a joint decompression and mobility system originally developed within osteopathy. When incorporated into physiotherapy, ELDOA exercises may help improve spinal alignment, joint space, and overall movement quality.
