Pre & post operation physiotherapy
We offer both pre-operation & post-operative physiotherapy for those undergoing operations including hip and knee replacements. Typically, our treatment programs are funded by private insurance providers. We offer a few programs in partnership with local hospitals that are funded by OHIP.
Are you a candidate for knee replacement or hip replacement? You will benefit from our pre-operation physiotherapy program not only by getting stronger but also by learning how to manage pain, swelling and improve mobility by education. This will minimize the anxiety normally associated with the surgery.

GLA:D program for knee & hip osteoarthritis
An evidence-based exercise and educational program delivered in a small group of a maximum of 6 participants. The program is focused on increasing mobility and strength of lower extremities, core, and postural muscles. Patients report significant improvement in mobility and abilities and marked decrease in pain.
Arthritis & Osteoporosis programs
These treatments include hands-on and using exercise therapy to manage pain, improve mobility and prevent fractures. We include education and self- management in your program.
In-home physiotherapy & Exercise therapy
For the times that accessing care in our clinics is difficult, we will provide care at the comfort of your home. After accidents, surgeries, stroke or serious injuries, you may benefit from a few sessions of physiotherapy or massage at home or you may need some modifications made to your home to make staying at home safer and easier.
Exercise therapy
Prescribed by your physiotherapist and conducted by the physiotherapist or exercise therapist, we will help you to improve joint range of motion, posture, and balance. We design an exercise program suitable for your needs and goals. Our popular small group exercise programs might just be for you to increase your functional abilities and stay independent.
Balance & Dizziness Exercise Program
Dizziness & Balance Program/Vertigo treatment
Dizziness is a common complaint from our senior patients. Almost 70% of 70 years old and older suffer from dizziness at least once in their lifetime. You may benefit from our treatments for BPPV and vertigo or our vestibular rehabilitation if the cause of dizziness is related to inner ear dysfunctions and you will certainly benefit from our balance exercise program.
For chronic dizziness sufferers, we offer an exercise program to encourage patients to incorporate mobility and balance exercises in combination with postural, core and hip exercise to improve balance, decrease dizziness and minimize the fear of falling. This program is conducted with a maximum of 2 patients at the same time. This program starts with an assessment by a physiotherapist.
Balance & Falls prevention program
Our fall prevention program focuses on the causes of falls and prevention and balance training. The most common reasons for falls are lower extremity muscle weakness, postural muscle weakness, vision problems, neuropathies; and falls related to medication and dizziness. Once the cause of the fall is identified, a program will be designed to address the cause and prevent falls and fractures.
Pelvic Health for women & men
Our pelvic health physiotherapist offers one on one treatment to promote pelvic health and will assist you to manage common conditions such as incontinence for women & men.
Chiropody & footcare
Our foot care program is suitable for diabetic foot, wound treatment, corns and calluses, orthotics, orthopedic shoes and more. Our chiropodist/foot care specialist provides foot care and prescribes and dispenses orthotics.
Assistive Device Program (ADP)
We have partnered with ADP mobility aid authorizers who will assess patients and determine if they are eligible for government-funded (OHIP) programs and prescribe mobility aids such as walkers and wheelchair suitable for their needs.
Our physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists and other practitioners work collaboratively to ensure your visits to our clinic are effective and pleasant.
