Physiotherapy promotes physical wellness and function by helping to diagnose and treat physical conditions or injuries that limit body movement. This includes a thorough assessment and development of a treatment plan that can include education, activity modification, various stretches and exercises, soft tissue release, manual therapy, and supplementary treatments including ultrasound, dry needling, and kinesiotaping.

All of our physiotherapists are certified by the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and have extensive experience working with the full range of orthopaedic patients of all ages. They can also be integral in supporting training plans and can prevent or reduce the risk of injuries. Our clinic philosophy is ‘movement is medicine’ and you will find a significant active component to our physiotherapy treatments.
