Telehealth
Can’t make it out to the clinic? No worries. With the click of a button we can meet for a “virtual physio” or “video physio” session. Although I love using my manual therapy skills, I can still provide education for your injury, activity modifications, and home exercise programs.
In-Clinic Manual Therapy
The mobilization of soft tissue and joints can provide significant pain relief and help restore proper movement patterns in your body. There are several other tools in this “Body Mechanic’s” tool belt that can compliment hands-on manual therapy during your clinic treatment sessions. Continue to read below for a list of these in-clinic physical therapy services.
GunnIMS
Intramuscular Stimulation is a dry needling technique that effectively releases muscles by stimulating the nervous system. This technique causes the muscles to contract or “twitch” involuntarily and then release.
Medical & Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
I have been trained in both forms of acupuncture with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canadian Institute. This technique is suggested to restore balance in the nervous system and improve localized blood flow which promotes healing.
Vestibular & Concussion Therapy
The inner ear can be the root cause of several dizziness and balance disorders. Using specialized equipment and a thorough assessment we are able to appropriately treat these conditions.
Taping
Kinesio-taping is a technique used to cue muscle and joint awareness. It is often used in conjunction with exercises in order to relearn proper muscle recruitment patterns.
Stability taping using athletic tape is an option to provide temporary support for more acute conditions and unstable joints.
Cupping
Traditional Chinese Medicine used cupping as a technique to compliment acupuncture. It has shown to increase local circulation and blood flow as well as release tight muscles.
Hypervolt
This tool provides both pressure and vibration to help release muscle tension.
Exercise
Patient education on proper form and exercise parameters is key to getting your injury under control. If you put in the work, you will see the progress.
