How Physiotherapy Helps

Working with a physiotherapist can help you:

 Massage therapy is a clinically proven way to reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve overall well-being. Our registered massage therapists (RMTs) are trained to assess and treat the soft tissues of the body — including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia — with a personalized, hands-on approach.

Our Approach

Once patterns of muscle dysfunction are identified, treatment may include manual techniques to release tight tissues, restore range of motion, and reduce discomfort. RMTs also provide education, stretches, and exercises to help you maintain progress and prevent future issues.

Massage therapy is especially effective in addressing injuries caused by:

• Trauma (e.g., accidents, surgeries)
• Repetitive strain (e.g., posture issues, workplace ergonomics)
   

Through targeted care, massage can:

• Stretch and relax muscles
• Inhibit spasms
• Improve joint mobility 
• Break down scar tissue 
• Support faster recovery
   

Conditions We Treat

Massage therapy can effectively help with:

• Headaches and migraines
• Pregnancy care (pre- and post-natal) 
• Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) 
• Frozen shoulder 
• Arthritis and joint stiffness 
• Repetitive strain injuries 
• Low back and neck pain 
• Sciatica 
• Muscle spasms and tightness 
• Fibromyalgia
   

Benefits of Massage Therapy

• Reduces pain and muscle tension

 Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and now widely used in modern healthcare. This practice involves the gentle insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing, restore balance, and improve overall function.

How It Works

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body’s vital energy, or qi (pronounced “chee”), flows through pathways called meridians. When this flow is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to pain, illness, or other imbalances. By stimulating carefully chosen acupuncture points, treatment helps restore balance, improve circulation, and activate the body’s innate healing processes.

The needles used in acupuncture are extremely fine, and most people experience little to no discomfort during treatment.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be a powerful stand-alone treatment or used alongside physiotherapy and massage therapy to support comprehensive care. It is commonly used to:

• Relieve pain (chronic back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, muscle tension) 
• Reduce headaches and migraines 
• Support recovery from musculoskeletal conditions and injuries 
• Ease anxiety, stress, and depression 
• Improve sleep and manage insomnia 
• Reduce nausea and vomiting (including post-chemotherapy or during pregnancy) 
• Alleviate allergy symptoms and respiratory issues (such as coughs and colds) 
• Support menstrual health and reproductive concerns 
• Promote overall wellness and preventative care
