General physiotherapy helps to promote your overall health and rehabilitate muscles and bones in the body that have been suffered from injury or trauma.
This includes sprains, strains, the rehabilitation of fractures, inflammation of tendons, arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, repetitive injuries and post surgery conditions.
Our physiotherapists will assess your needs and work with you through a variety of treatments such as 
​
  • Manual therapy: carefully moving the joints to reduce pain and restore normal mobility of the joints.
  • Soft tissue techniques: varying from relaxing light pressure massages to deep friction massages to breakdown scar tissue in muscle or ligaments.
  • Taping for joint support/alignment: This supports the muscles and various affected areas to ease pain and allow for normal movement.
  • Rehabilitation Exercises: Our physiotherapists may give you exercises to do at home based on your needs. These may be to help you improve your posture, improve the mobility of your spine and joints, and strengthen the muscles that support your bones.​

PRENATAL PHYSIOTHERAPY

Pregnancy can be a challenging time if you are trying to stay active and exercise. The demands placed on your body are constantly changing and it is important to tailor your exercise routine to better suit those demands. Our physiotherapists can help you manage pain and discomfort and help you find safe and suitable exercises trimester by trimester.

Prenatal Physiotherapy can also help with preparing for birth and the management of common conditions which often occur during pregnancy, such as swelling that occurs in the lower arms and legs, lower and upper back pain, posture misalignment and more.
