Physiotherapy Services
Physiotherapists are considered Body Specialists, which means that we can help you with almost any muscle, or joint pain that you experience . We are university trained (physiotherapists often have two university degrees, in addition to many hours of post-graduate education), and at Royal Centre Physiotherapy, we have many areas of expertise.
Exercise Therapy
Exercise Therapy is the prescription of specific, individual exercises towards achieving an optimal level of symptom-free movement during basic to complex activities. It is the cornerstone of our treatment approach, with exercise programs tailored to each client’s needs.
Modalities
Modalities (machines such as laser, electrical currents, muscle stimulators etc.), and manual therapy (joint and muscle stretching and mobilizing) techniques are often used for relief of pain, swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical Acupuncture is often incorporated into the physiotherapy treatment. Acupuncture can provide instantaneous pain relief, accelerating a return to normal movement. In addition, it is a holistic treatment method and may improve mood, energy and sleep patterns.
Intramuscular Stimulation
Intrasmuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a total system for the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain syndromes (chronic pain conditions that occur in the musculoskeletal system when there is no obvious sign of injury or inflammation). IMS is grounded in Western Medical Science, and has a solid foundation in its radiculopathic model of pain, which is now supported by many experts in the field.
Other Services
Other services we offer include sport/golf fitness assessment for treatment and prevention of injury, computerized gait assessments, taping, bracing, exercise prescription, work ergonomic assessment and postural education.
