Physiotherapists diagnose injury, disease, disorders, or lifestyle on movement and function and aim to enhance or restore function of many of the body's systems.

Massage Therapy
The Clinic offers swedish and deep tissue massage.
Swedish massage is made up of several techniques that are generally used to promote relaxation. It is usually made up of long, soft techniques performed at a slow to medium rhythm. Swedish massage provides a relaxing experience but the pressure can also be deep at times.
Deep tissue massage (also commonly referred to as sports massage) is intended for individuals who are either athletes or have a sports/work related injury. The treatment is more specific to the injured area and can at times produce discomfort. The techniques can be performed at a slow, medium or fast rhythm depending on the stage of healing or if the treatment is pre, during or post sport.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic medicine is a non-invasive discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system: the bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints and connective tissues.

- Fibromyalgia: This condition causes chronic muscle and joint pain.
- Chronic venous insufficiency: This happens when your leg veins aren’t working effectively, making it hard for your blood to return to your heart from your legs.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that provides therapists another tool to tackle stubborn, chronic tendinopathy. By creating a series of acoustic wave pulsations, therapists are able to apply this pressure to a localized treatment area. This technology has been proven successful in the study of treatment of chronic conditions. After an assessment with a therapist to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment, a treatment program will be designed that is suited for your condition which can range between 3 and 6 weeks.
How can shockwave therapy help?
Shockwave therapy is beneficial for patients that have had minimal response to traditional forms of treatment. It is most suited for patients living with chronic (ie. greater than six weeks) tendinopathies that could be a result of sport, overuse or repetitive strain and is most commonly used for fast pain relief and mobility restoration. By triggering the bodies natural healing responses, studies have shown a quick recovery time in patients without the need for painkillers.
Who can benefit from shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy can be beneficial to patients with the following conditions:
Feet – heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
Elbow - tennis and golfers elbow
Shoulder – calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles

Medical Acupuncture
Medical Acupuncture is provided by Dr. Joseph Csumrik. This service is billed under Chiropractic benefits.
Medical acupuncture is a modern treatment approach founded in concepts of neurology, anatomy and physiology. While the same needles and points are used as in traditional acupuncture, points needled are anatomically and neurologically connected to your specific source of pain. Medical acupuncture has been shown to have beneficial results by inducing muscle relaxation, modulating pain, altering your neuroendocrine responses and changing your autonomic activity (fight or flight response) resulting in an overall relaxation and a feeling of well-being. Various studies have proven that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones. Acupuncture affects the functioning of the hormonal system, promotes a decrease in inflammation, increases circulation and provides relief from pain.
Massage & Acupuncture
Massage & Acupuncture sessions consist of both massage and medical acupuncture. This service is billed under Massage benefits.
Matrix Repatterning
Matrix Repatterning is a subtle yet profound therapy that uses structural and bioelectric assessment to identify core injuries. The shape of the body is maintained by a balance of tension across its entire structure, like one continuous interconnected fabric. When one area of the body has an injury, it can affect other areas, causing restrictions and compensation in those other areas. These restrictions include bioelectric changes that can disrupt the flow of energy in the body and impede function. Over a series of sessions, using gentle manual therapy applied to the deeper structures of the body, Matrix Repatterning removes these restrictions, like peeling away the layers of an onion. Matrix Repatterning is beneficial for both acute and chronic injuries. It can increase function, reduce pain and positively influence other systems of the body. Here are some of the conditions that can be treated with Matrix Repatterning:
-concussion and post-concussion symptoms
-neck and shoulder pain
-scoliosis
-sciatic pain
-lower back, hip and knee pain
-trigeminal neuralgia
-foot and ankle pain
-wrist and hand pain
-menstrual pain
-TMJ disorders
-frozen shoulder
-migraine, headache
-post-operative pain
-chronic pain
