MANUAL THERAPY
Manual therapy is a form of treatment that provides symptom modification and can reduce perceived sensations such as pain and stiffness. The practitioner uses his or her hands to apply force to the body while the patient is directed to move in specific directions.
ORTHOTICS
When properly prescribed, a custom orthotic can help decrease pain in the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and low back. Each orthotic is specifically tailored to your foot and will fit a variety of shoe types.
EXERCISE REHABILITATION
Exercise-based rehabilitation can be used as an adjunct therapy which will expedite the healing process and help prevent recurring injuries. Rehabilitation programs are designed specifically to meet the needs of the patient and can include strength training, cardiovascular training, mobility/stretching, as well as sport-specific training.
For more information, please visit the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology website.
