What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a profession dedicated to helping individuals restore movement and function after injury, illness, or disability. Our physiotherapist is an expert in assessing and managing a wide range of conditions. We use a combination of techniques, including movement and exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice, to empower you to regain your function and manage pain effectively.

Common Physiotherapy Treatments

At Able Body Health Clinic, we employ a variety of treatments to facilitate your healing and recovery, including:

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment that healthcare providers use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch. This helps relieve pain and improve your range of motion.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic Ultrasound is a specialized method of therapy that uses mechanical energy to promote the healing process. It is widely used in treating soft tissue and sports injuries. Ultrasound treatments help to increase blood flow, relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and promote the healing of tissues.

Electrotherapeutics (IFC, TENS, IMS)

Electrotherapies like IFC, and IMS are safe and efficient treatment choices for pain relief and rehabilitation. The idea is that applying an electrical current can help block pain signals, strengthen muscles, and improve blood circulation. For example, your physiotherapist may use electrotherapies as a part of your rehabilitation program If you have an injury or illness that causes pain or prevents you from easily moving around.

Laser Therapy

Pain reduction is most well-established by research; however, improved healing and quicker recovery times after injury has also been seen by clinicians and researchers.
