Acupuncture / Intramuscular Stimulation
60 min
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique consists of the insertion of one or several small needles into the skin and underlying tissue at precise points on the body known as acupoints. The goal of acupuncture is to relieve pain, balance the body’s energy and promote healing. Instramuscular Stimulation or IMS is a form of needling technique used as a remedy for chronic muscle pain and tension that results from muscles held in a constant tight/shortened state. During an IMS treatment, our physiotherapists can insert small dry needles into the affected tight muscle and manipulate the needles as needed.
Shockwave Therapy
60 min
Shockwave therapy is a new non-invasive solution for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Applications are mostly associated with the treatment of chronic muscular and tendon disorders, back and cervical pain. During the therapy, a high intensity acoustic wave interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects including neovascularization, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen production and dissolution of calcium build-up. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates a healing environment for the injured area to return to normal, restore functionality, and relieve pain.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
60 min
Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves treatment for issues related to your pelvic floor. This can include concerns related to the function of your bladder and bowel, sexual health, and pain around the pelvis. During a pelvic floor assessment we take the time to understand your experiences, which includes a comprehensive discussion related to your history and symptoms. Following this, we conduct a whole body assessment in order to find the root cause. If you are comfortable, and it is deemed appropriate by the physiotherapist, the assessment may include an internal vaginal and/or rectal exam.
