Under the guidance of a Physiotherapist and a Kinesiologist, you will learn to manage your injuries independently and achieve an optimal level of independence. The Physiotherapist and Kinesiologist work together to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol providing pain management, education, conditioning, and therapeutic exercises.

Job site visits may also be incorporated into an evaluation or treatment plan in order to assist in determining a safe and durable return to work.

Water-based exercises are individually designed with a Physiotherapist and a Kinesiologist to help improve range of motion while providing subtle strengthening exercises. A Kinesiologist monitors each client directly in the pool so as to ensure exercises are done in the most effective way and to provide assistance when necessary.
