Chiropractic care can assess, diagnose and treat muscle, joint and nervous system ailments and restore balance in our spine and nerves to improve our body’s systemic health. Your treatment may include: soft tissue release, manual stretching, neuromuscular acupuncture, cupping, adjustments, activator treatment.

Infant chiropractors use very gentle and safe techniques that are appropriate for the delicate nature of an infant's spine and skeletal system. Reasons parents may seek infant chiropractic care include:

• colic and fussiness

• reflux and feeding issues

• sleep disturbances

• musculoskeletal issues

• support for healthy development

By aligning the spine and pelvis, chiropractors can help alleviate pain, reduce tension, and improve the body's ability to adapt to the changes occurring during pregnancy and optimize your baby’s position in the womb for birth. Treatment may include:

• activator work

• appropriate positioning with pregnancy pillows

• soft tissue therapy

• cupping

• gentle adjustments

Paediatric physio involves screening and intervention for gross motor skills. Gross motor skills (the ability to run and jump, or be able to catch and throw a ball) impact a child’s confidence, physical activity levels, inclusion at school and participation in community sports and recreation programs. Intervening early in these areas can have many benefits that persist into adolescent & adulthood.

A Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Rehab Expert is a healthcare professional who has completed specialized training and certification through the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) to work specifically with golfers on physical movement, injury rehabilitation, and performance enhancement based on how the body works with the golf swing. TPI Rehab Experts focus on the “body-swing connection” — the idea that your physical capabilities (mobility, strength, balance, flexibility, motor control, etc.) directly influence how efficiently and safely you can swing a golf club. Treatment can involve:

• Movement and Physical Assessment

• Swing Analysis

• Rehabilitation: If you’re in pain or recovering from an injury (common areas include back, shoulder, elbow or hip), they design individualized rehab plans to reduce pain and restore physical function tied to golf performance.

• Performance Training

A TPI Rehab Expert bridges the gap between movement and performance, helping golfers move pain-free and optimize their game by addressing the underlying physical factors that influence performance and injury risk.

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy that helps improve balance and reduce dizziness caused by inner ear or brain conditions. Post-concussion rehabilitation focuses on addressing symptoms like headaches, cognitive issues, and visual or balance disturbances after a concussion, often including vestibular therapy as part of the recovery.

Merging rehabilitative movement with the principles of Pilates, these classes are part of your Physiotherapy coverage and teach you breathing techniques, spinal mobility and strength, core activation and hips and pelvic floor connection. These physio sessions are offered in 1:1 and small group settings.

Small group physiotherapy classes are thoughtfully programmed to educate and prescribe exercises for specific populations with similar issues and concerns. Clinical Pilates, Physio Strength, Prenatal Physio Yoga, Postnatal Mom & Baby Pilates and Postnatal Mom & Baby Strength classes run year-round with speciality classes on occasion.

Our physiotherapist Rachel Wilson MScPT RYT is also a Registered Yoga Instructor and Prenatal Yoga Instructor. She offers both 1:1 Physio Yoga treatment sessions and Small Group Physio Yoga class series.

Our massage therapists specialize in prenatal and postpartum massage, infant massage and workshops, and scalp & facial massage therapy services. We have bolstering options to make massage accessible and comfortable for everyone.

Buccal massage (also called intra-oral facial massage) is a specialized manual therapy technique that works on the muscles of the face both externally and from inside the mouth.

Buccal massage is commonly used for:

• Facial tension (especially jaw and cheeks)

• TMJ discomfort

• Headaches related to jaw clenching

• Stress-related tightness

• Post-dental or orthodontic tension

• Cosmetic facial sculpting and lymphatic drainage

• Improving circulation and muscle tone

What does treatment entail:

• Discussion of goals (pain relief, cosmetic sculpting, TMJ relief, etc.)

• Review of medical history (important for TMJ disorders, recent dental work, infections, etc.)

• The face is cleansed beforehand

• External facial muscle, jaw and neck massage therapy

• Intra-Oral (Inside the Mouth) Work

• The therapist works both inside and outside simultaneously to release deep tension.

• Often finishes with lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness

Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized, more sculpting-focused version of traditional lymphatic drainage massage. It became popular through Brazilian body-contouring techniques and is often associated with visibly reducing bloating and enhancing body definition immediately after treatment.

It’s inspired by manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) principles but typically uses firmer, faster, and more rhythmic techniques than classic medical lymph drainage. The goal is to:

• Stimulate the lymphatic system

• Reduce water retention and bloating

• Improve circulation

• Enhance body contour definition

• Support post-surgical recovery (especially cosmetic surgery, when medically cleared)

STR uses targeted hands-on manual techniques to alleviate tightness, improve tissue mobility (muscle, fascia etc.) to restore mobility and reduce discomfort. Delivered by a registered Kinesiologist, STR can improve range of motion, reduce muscle tension and better movement quality.

Who can benefit from STR?

• Individuals with muscle tightness, stiffness or restrictive movement patterns

• Individuals recovering from minor injuries or managing overuse symptoms

• Those seeking to improve functional mobility for daily activities or athletic goals

• Those needing targeted tissue release to enhance performance and reduce compensatory movement

• Anyone looking to complement broader movement or strength programming 

What will be covered in your session?

• Soft Tissue Release (STR) and manual therapy: targeted hands-on techniques to reduce tension, improve tissue mobility, and support safer movement.

• Passive Stretch Therapy: clinician-guided stretch holds to improve range of motion and tissue length with your comfort in mind.

• Active Stretch Therapy: guided active-assisted stretches and neuromuscular cues to train control through new ranges.

• Tailored stretch and mobility plan: customized routines focusing on your unique restrictions, goals, and daily activity needs, with progression over time.

• Home programming and self-management: clear, easy-to-follow exercises and foam-rolling routines you can perform independently to reinforce progress between sessions.

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, combining principles of anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, and psychology to understand how the body moves and functions.

Good movement is the foundation of health and it is a system that you can optimize:

• Identify movement limitations, asymmetries and risk factors through a movement assessment

• Develop an individualized and goal-oriented exercise program including strength, mobility, endurance and functional fitness

• Create strategies to reduce injury risk and support safe recovery within your daily activities, workouts or sport

• Coach you through safe movement by ensuring proper form and efficient movement mechanic to maximize results and minimize strain

• Tailor your exercise program for the gym or home workouts providing clear and adaptable routines you can do anywhere
