MULTI-MODALITY PHYSIOTHERAPY
The proven combination of several modalities applied in conjunction with one another result in the most effective and powerful impact any physiotherapy session can deliver!
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. By targeting the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues, it helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. It also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
What Are The Benefits?
Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. Not only does it reduce pain, it’s effectiveness has been compared to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprophen (Advil)!
What Conditions does it treat?
• Sports injuries
• Post operation scar tissue
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sciatica
• Tight muscles
• Chronic muscle pain
• Post operation scar tissue
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sciatica
• Tight muscles
• Chronic muscle pain
What Should I do after my session?
• Remember to hydrate
• Take a warm bath with Epson salts
• Don't eat a heavy meal
• Don't do anything strenuous
ACUPUNCTURE / ELECTROACUPUNCTURE
What is electroacupuncture?
Electroacupuncture is a modified form that uses two needles. A mild electric current passes between these needles during treatment. This current generally applies more stimulation to acupuncture points and is intended to help increase the potential healing effects of standard treatment.
What Are The Benefits?
Acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals, into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes result in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
What Conditions does it treat?
• Sports injuries
• Post operation scar tissue
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sciatica
• Tight muscles
• Chronic muscle pain

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are directly applied to an injury through a person's skin. Your therapist will apply some gel onto your skin and then use the shockwave machine for the treatment.
What Are The Benefits?
This acoustic wave carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions and promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
What Conditions does it treat?
• Feet/Heal Spurs
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Hip Bursitis
• Shin Splints
• Back Pain
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Hip Bursitis
• Shin Splints
• Back Pain

You should be able to continue your usual activities following shockwave treatment. Avoid any strenuous exercises immediately after the treatment. However, it is important to continue with the exercises given to you by your physiotherapist, such as stretching.
GRASTON TECHNIQUE
What is Graston Technique?
The Graston technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. It is a type of manual therapy that incorporates special ergonomic tools that are used to gently massage and scrape parts of the skin.
What Are The Benefits?
• reduced pain
• increased function
• breaking down of the scar tissue and fascia restrictions
• more free movement (from stretching connective tissue)
• better healing environment for the injured soft tissue

What Conditions does it treat?
• slipped discs
• bone spurs
• degenerative disc disease
• herniated discs
• facet disease
• sciatica
• foramina stenosis
• pinched nerves
