Conditions We Treat

We offer individualized treatment and rehabilitation plans designed to address your condition, improve function, and help you return to everyday activities.

Back Pain Treatment

Back pain treatment focused on reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and restoring movement through personalized rehabilitation and care.

Mobility & Range-of-Motion

Mobility refers to how freely a joint or body region can move. Range of motion describes the amount of movement available at a particular joint.

Injury Rehabilitation

Injury rehabilitation is a structured process used to support physical function after an injury or period of reduced activity. It can address muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and movement patterns.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Post-surgical rehabilitation is a physiotherapy-based process that supports physical recovery following an operation. The program may begin with basic movement and gradually progress toward strengthening, mobility work, balance exercises, functional training, and activity-specific exercises.

Joint Injuries

A joint is where two or more bones meet and allow movement. Joints rely on structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and surrounding tissues to support movement and stability.

Tendon Injuries

Tendon injuries occur when a tendon is subjected to more load or stress than it can manage. This may happen suddenly, such as during a fall, sports movement, or lifting incident. It can also develop gradually through repeated activity.

Ligament Sprains

Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that connect bones and help keep joints stable. They are found throughout the body, including the ankle, knee, wrist, elbow, shoulder, thumb, and other joints.

Muscle Strains

A muscle strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched beyond its normal capacity. In some cases, muscle fibres can develop small tears. Strains can range from mild stretching to more significant tissue damage.

Slip & Fall Injuries

Slip and fall injuries are physical problems that develop after a person loses balance, slips on a surface, trips over an object, or falls from standing height or another position.

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries are physical conditions that occur because of an incident at work or develop through repeated physical demands associated with a job. They can affect muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and other parts of the musculoskeletal system.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are physical problems that occur during athletic activity, exercise, training, competition, or recreational movement. They can affect almost any part of the body.

Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Injuries from motor vehicle accidents are physical problems that develop after a collision involving a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or other road vehicle. The force involved in a crash can place stress on muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and other body structures.

Flat Feet / Overpronation

Flat feet, also called pes planus, occur when the arches along the inside of the feet sit lower than usual or become less visible when standing. Some people have low arches from childhood and have no symptoms. Others develop symptoms after changes in activity, injury, weight-bearing demands, footwear, or the structures that support the foot.

Heel Pain

Heel pain refers to discomfort around the underside, back, or sides of the heel. It can appear gradually or start after an injury, a change in activity, prolonged standing, or increased walking and running.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis involves irritation and changes within the plantar fascia, the connective tissue supporting the arch of the foot. The plantar fascia helps absorb load when you walk, run, jump, or stand. Repeated stress can cause symptoms around the heel and bottom of the foot.

Achilles Tendon Injuries

Achilles tendon injuries affect the thick band of tissue connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. This tendon handles substantial forces during walking, running, jumping, sprinting, and other activities that require the foot to push against the ground.

Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendinitis is irritation and degeneration that affects the Achilles tendon. This tendon sits at the back of the ankle and connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It plays an important role when walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping, and pushing the body forward.

Ankle Sprains

An ankle sprain occurs when one or more ligaments around the ankle are stretched beyond their normal range or torn. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones and help keep a joint stable.

Ankle Pain

Ankle pain refers to discomfort in or around the ankle joint. It may occur suddenly after an injury or develop gradually from repeated stress, changes in activity, footwear, work demands, or movement patterns.

Shin Splints

Shin splints is a common term for pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, or tibia. The clinical term often used for this condition is medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).

Calf Pain

Calf pain refers to discomfort located in the area between the knee and ankle. The calf contains several muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues. Because several structures occupy this region, symptoms can arise for different reasons.

Leg Pain

Leg pain refers to discomfort or other unusual sensations affecting any part of the lower limb. The symptoms may be felt in one location or travel through several areas. Some people notice pain only during movement, while others may feel symptoms while resting.

Sports-Related Knee Injuries

Sports-related knee injuries are problems affecting the knee that occur during athletic activity, exercise, training, or recreational movement. They can happen because of a sudden incident, repeated stress, poor landing mechanics, direct contact, changes in training volume, or a combination of factors.

Knee Bursitis

Knee bursitis occurs when a bursa around the knee becomes irritated and inflamed. Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between tissues such as bones, tendons, muscles, and skin.

Knee Tendinitis

Knee tendinitis refers to irritation and inflammation involving a tendon around the knee. Tendons are strong bands of connective tissue that connect muscles to bones and help transfer force during movement.

Meniscus Injuries

The menisci are two crescent-shaped pieces of cartilage located between the thigh bone and shin bone inside each knee. They help distribute load across the joint, assist with shock absorption, and contribute to knee stability during movement.

IT Band Syndrome

IT Band Syndrome, often called ITBS, is a condition associated with irritation around the outer portion of the knee where the iliotibial band passes near the knee joint. The iliotibial band is a thick band of connective tissue extending along the outside of the thigh.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, often called PFPS, refers to pain around the front of the knee, particularly near or behind the kneecap. The patellofemoral joint is formed where the patella, or kneecap, meets the femur, which is the thigh bone.

Runner’s Knee

Runner’s knee is commonly used to describe patellofemoral pain, which involves discomfort around the kneecap and the area where the kneecap moves over the thigh bone.

Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is a joint condition involving changes to the cartilage and other structures within the knee. Cartilage normally helps the joint surfaces move smoothly against each other. With osteoarthritis, cartilage can become thinner, and the joint may undergo structural changes.

Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis refers to changes within the knee joint that can affect cartilage, bone, surrounding tissues, and joint movement. Osteoarthritis is the most common form. It develops when the structures within the joint change over time.

Knee Pain

Knee pain refers to discomfort felt around or within the knee joint. It can appear at the front, back, inside, or outside of the knee. Some people notice symptoms only during movement, while others may feel discomfort while sitting, standing, or resting.

SI Joint Dysfunction

The sacroiliac, or SI, joints connect the sacrum at the base of the spine with the left and right sides of the pelvis. These joints help transfer forces between the upper body and legs during activities such as walking, standing, bending, and changing position.

Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain refers to discomfort located in or around the pelvic region. The pelvis contains muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissues, and organs that work together during walking, sitting, lifting, exercise, urination, bowel movements, and other daily activities.

Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis syndrome refers to symptoms that can occur when the piriformis muscle irritates or places pressure on the sciatic nerve or nearby structures.

Hip Flexor Strain

The hip flexors are a group of muscles that help bring the thigh toward the torso. They also contribute to walking, running, stair climbing, jumping, kicking, and other movements that involve lifting the leg.

Hip Bursitis

Hip bursitis is inflammation or irritation involving a bursa around the hip. One of the more commonly affected bursae is the trochanteric bursa, located near the outer portion of the hip around the greater trochanter.

Hip Arthritis

Hip arthritis refers to changes within the hip joint that can affect how the joint moves and handles load. Osteoarthritis is a common form of hip arthritis. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the thigh bone fits into the socket of the pelvis.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition involving compression or irritation of the median nerve at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway formed by wrist bones and a strong band of connective tissue.

Wrist Pain

Wrist pain refers to discomfort, soreness, stiffness, weakness, or sensitivity around the wrist joint and nearby structures. The wrist contains several small bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles that work together to allow the hand and fingers to move.

Arm Pain

Arm pain refers to discomfort affecting any part of the upper limb, including the shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, or hand. It may feel like an ache, sharp sensation, burning, tightness, pressure, or tenderness.

Elbow Pain

Elbow pain refers to discomfort around the joint connecting the upper arm and forearm. The elbow allows the arm to bend, straighten, rotate, and perform many movements required for everyday activities.

Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s elbow is a condition involving the tendons and muscles connected to the inner side of the elbow. The medical term is medial epicondylitis. These tissues help control movements of the wrist and fingers.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylalgia, is commonly associated with pain around the outside of the elbow. The condition often involves the tendons that connect forearm muscles to the bony area on the outer elbow.

Bursitis

Bursitis is inflammation or irritation of a bursa. These small sacs are located near joints and sit between structures such as bones, tendons, muscles, and skin. Their role is to help tissues move against one another with less friction.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, with movement becoming progressively restricted. It can affect one shoulder or, in some cases, both shoulders at different times.

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement refers to shoulder pain that can occur when structures around the shoulder become irritated during certain movements. The rotator cuff tendons and the bursa are among the tissues that may become involved.

Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that help stabilize the shoulder joint and control arm movement. These structures play a role when you raise your arm, rotate your shoulder, reach behind your back, or perform activities that require controlled shoulder movement.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff injuries involve damage or irritation affecting one or more of the four muscles or tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. These structures help keep the head of the upper arm bone positioned within the shoulder socket while allowing the arm to move in different directions.

Posture-Related Neck Pain

Text neck refers to neck discomfort associated with spending extended periods looking downward at a phone, tablet, laptop, or other device. The position can place additional load on the neck and upper back.

Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve in the neck, also called cervical nerve compression or cervical radiculopathy, occurs when a nerve leaving the cervical spine becomes irritated or compressed.

Cervical Arthritis

Cervical arthritis is arthritis that affects the cervical spine's joints in the neck. It is often associated with age-related changes in the joints, discs, and surrounding structures.

Cervical Disc Problems

Cervical disc problems affect one or more discs within the neck region of the spine. A disc has a soft inner portion surrounded by a stronger outer layer. With age, repetitive loading, injury, or other factors, a disc can change in shape or structure.

Stiff Neck

A stiff neck refers to reduced neck movement, tightness, soreness, or discomfort when moving the head. Some people notice stiffness when looking over their shoulder, while others may feel tension when looking up or down.

Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain refers to neck discomfort or related symptoms that continue for an extended period, commonly lasting 12 weeks or longer. Symptoms can remain constant or come and go depending on activity, posture, sleep, workload, or movement.

Neck Pain

Neck pain refers to discomfort, stiffness, soreness, or restricted movement affecting the cervical region of the spine. It may develop suddenly after an injury or gradually because of posture, repetitive activities, muscle tension, joint irritation, or changes within the cervical spine.

Spinal Misalignment

Spinal misalignment is a general term used to describe changes in spinal position or movement. The spine is made up of vertebrae, discs, joints, ligaments, and muscles that work together to support movement and the body.

Poor Posture

Poor posture refers to body positioning that places unnecessary strain on muscles, joints, ligaments, and other structures during sitting, standing, walking, or other activities.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal condition involving an abnormal curvature of the spine. The curve may develop during childhood or adolescence, although scoliosis can also occur or become noticeable during adulthood.

Arthritis / Osteoarthritis

Arthritis refers to a group of conditions that affect the joints. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms. It involves changes within a joint and may affect cartilage, surrounding tissues, joint movement, and load tolerance.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces inside the spinal canal or openings where spinal nerves pass become narrower. This narrowing can place pressure on nerves or, in some cases, the spinal cord.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is a term used to describe age-related or stress-related changes within the discs of the spine. Despite its name, it does not necessarily mean that a disc is rapidly deteriorating or that a person has a progressive disease.

Bulging Disc

A spinal disc sits between the bones of the spine and acts as a cushion during movement. Each disc has a softer inner portion surrounded by a stronger outer layer.

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through a tear or weakened area in its outer layer. Spinal discs sit between the vertebrae and act as cushions while allowing the spine to move.

Acute Back Pain

Acute back pain is discomfort in the lower, middle, or upper back that develops over a relatively short period. Often, acute episodes last for several days or weeks.

Chronic Back Pain

Chronic back pain refers to back discomfort that continues for 12 weeks or longer. It may remain after an initial injury has healed, develop gradually, or occur alongside conditions affecting the muscles, joints, discs, nerves, or spine.

Mid-Back Pain

Mid-back pain refers to discomfort in the thoracic spine, which consists of 12 vertebrae located between the neck and lower back. This area supports the upper body and connects with the ribs, making it important for posture, breathing mechanics, and trunk movement.

Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain refers to discomfort in the thoracic region of the spine, which extends from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. This area contains the thoracic vertebrae, muscles, joints, ribs, ligaments, and connective tissues that support movement and posture.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain refers to discomfort or symptoms affecting the area between the lower ribs and the pelvis. It can appear suddenly or develop gradually over time.

Back & Spine

Back pain can be either mild pain or very sharp pain accompanied by spasm of the muscles and spreading to hips and thighs. Each case of back pain is unique, which is why a proper examination should be conducted first.

Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, allowing a great deal of movement. But it is more likely to be injured and strained because it relies on the coordination of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Hip Pain

Hip pain is any pain that is felt in the hip joint, groin, buttock, outer thigh or even down the leg. It can come on suddenly after an injury or gradually from repetitive strain, muscle weakness, arthritis or age-related wear and tear.

Foot Pain

Foot pain can occur suddenly after an injury or develop gradually due to repetitive stress, poor footwear, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. Receiving an accurate assessment is the first step toward effective treatment.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a general term for injuries to the neck. Whiplash is an injury to the neck caused when your head is suddenly thrown backward and then forward, like the snap of a whip. This swift motion can harm or damage the muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and other soft tissues in the neck.

Sciatica

Sciatica is irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. The sciatic nerve begins in the lower spine and travels down the hips and buttocks and down each leg.
