Our Registered Physiotherapist provides a comprehensive assessment of your movement and injury, which ensures that your treatment is designed just for you. Exercises and other modalities (Ultrasound, Muscle Stim, and IFC) may be included in your treatment. Our therapists offer: 1) Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate precise anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposed. Along with the usual method of puncturing skin with the fine needles, heat, pressure, friction or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the points may also be used to stimulate the points. The acupoints are stimulated to balance the movement of energy (qi) in the body to restore health. 2) Active Release Technique (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. 3) Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM): Each tissue in the body has individualized frequencies. The individualized and specific vibrational characteristic of each atom, of each tissue type, varies even more specifically for varying conditions, such as: trauma, inflammation, stress, environmental influences, etc. To put the theory of vibrations in a better overall perspective: different vibrations / frequencies of sound, light, radio waves, etc., are responsible for notes of music, colors of light, and radio stations. Vibrations are specific and unique for all matter, inorganic and organic. When an injury occurs to a tissue, the electrons in the affected tissue take on a different vibrational characteristic, unique to that injury or other abnormal condition. As the vibrations of the electrons change, it is believed the electrons concurrently may also change to a different "orbit" from what was normal for that tissue type. 4) Exercise Therapy uses a variety of equipment (resistance bands, weights, towels, fitness balls, etc.) a program will be designed to specifically meet your goals and address any injuries. Exercises for Strength, Flexibility, Balance and Agility will be included. 5) Aquatic Therapy using our state-of-the-art Hydrotrack Water Treadmill to increase your strength, flexibillity, range of motion and overall health.
