Custom Orthotics
Custom Orthotics

We prescribe and fit custom orthotics to address a number of foot and lower limb mechanical problems. The orthotics can be manufactured to fit almost any type of footwear including dress shoes, running shoes, soccer boots, work boots and ski boots.

A thorough biomechanical assessment is performed by a Registered Physiotherapist prior to plaster cast moulds being made of your feet.

The orthotics are then fabricated in a Canadian lab with specific instructions from the treating physiotherapist.

Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the practice of applying varying pressures to soft tissue, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Massage therapy can be used to help heal injuries, manage pain, improve circulation, and relieve tension. Our two wonderful registered massage therapists are often incorporated into personalized rehabilitation programs created by our physiotherapists. Massage therapy is practiced in one of our specialized rooms to ensure absolute relaxation and tranquility.

    We also offer baseline testing to determine an athlete’s “normal” performance for a variety of physical and cognitive tests. Should the athlete suffer a concussion their post-concussion assessment findings can be compared to their baseline results. This can guide their treatment and provide the physiotherapist with objective measures to assist in preparing the athlete for return to play.
