Physiotherapy in Courtenay BC
Evidence Based Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation and Injury Recovery
Manual therapy
Therapists use their hands to put pressure on joints and muscles to help restore normal function and decrease pain. There are many benefits of manual therapy that cannot be replicated by exercise alone.
Aquatic therapy
Water based Physiotherapy can be helpful for people who are struggling to recover from injury with traditional land-based treatments, or as an easier and gentler way to begin a rehabilitation program.
Dry Needling / IMS
Dry needling is a procedure where a fine needle is inserted through the skin and into muscle. Needling can help to relax tense areas in muscle known as trigger points helping relieve pain and restore proper function to a joint.
Custom Orthotics
An Orthotic assessment is completed using GaitscanTM and Fusiform Cast 3D laser scanning technology to collect information which is sent to a lab where the orthotics are fabricated.
Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy involves exercises that help you manage dizziness and balance issues (imbalance). Your therapist may use techniques such as eye movement training, balance exercises, or stretching and strengthening exercises to help resolve your condition.
