Treatments 

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy encompasses hands-on  techniques that restore mobility to stiff joints and release muscle tension.  This allows your body to move more freely with less pain.

Common techniques include:

-soft tissue mobilization (massage)

-traction

-passive range of motion

-joint mobilization

-joint manipulation

Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Gunn IMS is a total system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes, including muscle, joint, tendon, bursal, neural and biomechanical problems.  The approach, using intramuscular dry needling, is based on a neuropathic model of musculoskeletal dysfunction developed by Dr. Chan Gunn.

Anatomical Acupuncture

Anatomical acupuncture is a modern approach taken today by Acupuncture Canada.  When combined with knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, physiotherapists can use acupuncture effectively to treat a variety of disorders.  Some examples include: 

-neck pain and headache

-tendinopathies

-osteoarthritis

-lower back pain
