Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy uses a holistic, individualized, problem-solving approach to improve postural control, efficiency and quality of movement, task performance, and participation in meaningful life activities for individuals with neurological impairments (example: stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and more). The framework for assessment and treatment is based on Neuro-Development Treatment, Bobath, and large amplitude movement training concepts, among others. Treatment techniques may include, but are not limited to, therapeutic handling, postural retraining, muscle activation and strengthening through selective exercises, sensory awareness training, balance training, and specific movement or task training such as gait training.

Movement difficulties may include, but are not limited to: cerebral palsy, development delay, developmental delays, co-ordination disorders, neuromuscular conditions, acquired brain injury, down’s syndrome.

Assessment and physiotherapy programs are developed in collaboration with both the child/young person and their caregiver. Treatment is incorporated into simple everyday activities. Advice and training is also provided so that the family can help and encourage the child to practice their physiotherapy programs.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a type of sound wave that is transmitted through a probe into an injured or painful area on the body to help it heal. The radial shockwaves helps stimulate healing reactions by increasing blood flow and increasing the growth of new cells in the body. It also provides pain relief by allowing the body to regenerate more healthy tissue through a cascade of cellular events. There is currently a large amount of research showing the effectiveness of shockwave as a non-surgical means of helping many chronic conditions to heal, provide pain relief, and improve function.

The principles of pilates include deep core activation and strengthening (abdominals and pelvic floor), movement control, posture, spinal alignment, and breathing. Clinical pilates works to retrain and integrate movement patterns to help you recover from or prevent injuries. All clinical pilates sessions are private one-on-one appointments using a variety of pilates specific equipment.

Yoga-Based Physiotherapy

Yoga-Based Physiotherapy is an integrative approach that combines the therapeutic principles of physiotherapy with the practices of yoga, merging the Western understanding of anatomy, physiology and mind-body psychology with ancient Eastern Yogic practices. Working with a registered Physiotherapist, you’ll explore personalized yoga techniques – including postures, breathwork, and meditation – that are specifically tailored to your unique needs.
