New Injury or Ongoing Pain / Tension ?
We help you improve your mobility, strength, function, and well-being through Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a collaborative treatment approach to restore, maintain, and optimize a client’s mobility, strength, function, well-being, and overall quality of life. Physiotherapists are recognized for their expertise in non-surgical treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions and injuries.

- Manual therapy (improving range of motion through joint mobilizations)
- Soft tissue release & active release technique (ART)
- Trigger point therapy
- Functional dry needling (FDN) & intramuscular stimulation (IMS)
