Specialized Taping & Return to Sport Programs
We are also pleased to offer taping clinics designed for specific conditions that can be applied by coaches, parents or partners.
Acupuncture is a proven technique that can offer relief to pain, weakness, swelling, muscle tension, numbness and circulatory impairments. TDN is a treatment for muscular tightness and spasm which commonly follows injuries and often accompanies the degenerative processes. This muscular tightness and spasm will cause compression and irritation of the nerves exiting the spine. When the nerves are irritated, they cause a protective spasm of all the muscles to which they are connected. This may cause peripheral diagnoses, such as carpel tunnel, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, decreased mobility and chronic pain.
Small, thin needles are inserted in the muscles at the trigger points causing the pain referral. The muscles would then contract and release, improving flexibility of the muscle and decreasing symptoms.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation is defined as an intensive, short-term (usually one or two days) evaluation that focuses on major physical tolerance abilities related to musculoskeletal strength, endurance, speed and flexibility. Standardized equipment is used to obtain objective data to compare against the physical demands of a specific activity or job. These evaluations can be used to make accurate recommendations for a return to work (modified or full), return to a specific activity of normal life or confirm post employment offer requirements.
A light source is placed in contact with the skin thereby allowing the transfer of energy to the damaged tissue where it boosts the activity of the cellular processes such as protein synthesis and ATP production which result in tissue healing and improved cellular function. The beneficial effects of laser therapy include the reduction of inflammation, improved muscle and tendon health, increased vascularity and decreased pain.
Your physiotherapist will integrate a variety of manual techniques such as mobilizations, manipulations, neural flossing, soft tissue lengthening and joint specific stability exercise to maximize the return to normal joint mobility and function.

We are pleased to offer a variety of taping techniques that are designed to improve joint stability and proprioception as well as decrease pain and swelling and promote improved muscle imbalance and postural dysfunctions. Tapes used include Kinesiotape, Leukotape and Sports Tape. 
Acupuncture is a form of treatment used by inserting fine needles beneath the skin to elicit a therapeutic effect. Acupuncture is based on the principle that there are energetic pathways, or channels, throughout the body that when stimulated through specific points, can influence specific body structures and systems. 
Functional Capacity Evaluations 
An ergonomic assessment is an evaluation of a workplace and its furnishings, tools and tasks in relation to the physical abilities of the specific worker. It is used to identify and report any risk factors that the worker may encounter while employed. By identifying those risks for injury and physical stress, recommendations will be provided for specific modifications and/or practice. 
Laser therapy is the use of light from Super Luminous Diodes to treat musculoskeletal injuries (both chronic and acute), degenerative conditions and facilitate wound healing. 
Manual Physiotherapy is a systematic, problem-solving approach to patient-centered assessment and treatment techniques used in the comprehensive management for spinal, upper extremity, lower extremity, temporomandibular joint and neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction. 
We offer a variety of therapeutic products to improve comfort and facilitate a quick return to your activities of normal life. Products include braces, electrotherapeutic devices, Kinesiotape, specialized pillows, resistance bands, hot and cold packs. 
We are happy to offer a detailed assessment centered on an individual's specific gait (walking) and running patterns. The results of this assessment will be used to develop specific strengthening and/or stretching programs aimed at maximizing performance and minimizing strain and stress to the body.
