For the shoulder that won't let you reach, lift or sleep on that side.
Shoulders are our special interest, from frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tendinopathy to a joint that feels like it could slip. We test how the shoulder moves, find what is holding it back, and rebuild strength in clear stages.
Shoulder conditions and surgery we treat
- Rotator cuff tendonitis
- Impingement syndrome
- Shoulder instability and subluxation
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- A-C joint injuries (separated shoulder)
- Fractures of the clavicle and humerus
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Postural syndromes of the upper quadrant
- Care after a shoulder dislocation
- Rotator cuff repair
- Shoulder arthroscopy
- Acromioplasty and decompression
- Bankart repair
- Capsular shift procedures
- A-C joint stabilization
- Humeral resurfacing
- Arthroplasty and hemi-arthroplasty
My shoulder had stiffened over a whole winter. Between the visits and the home program, I can reach the top shelf again and finally sleep on that side.
For the neck or back that hurts when you sit, stand or walk.
We look at how you sit, stand and walk through a normal day, at work and away from it. Treatment can include hands-on therapy, traction, and exercises for your neck, back and posture.
She listened first, then showed me how to sit, stand and move through a work day. Two months on, my back no longer decides how my day goes.
After surgery, when you are not sure how much to do, or when.
We work from your surgeon's protocol after common orthopaedic procedures, such as rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement and knee surgery, so you know what to do each week.
After my rotator cuff repair I was nervous to move at all. Graham set out each stage with me, and my shoulder now works better than it did before the injury.
When an injury keeps you off the ice, the field or the track.
Our physiotherapists have postgraduate training in sports injuries, from the first hours after a knock to the return to play. We see athletes in hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, swimming, running and more, from weekend leagues to competitive teams.
Hurt in a car accident, and not sure how the insurance works?
We assess you fully, explain each injury and what recovery should look like, and help you through the motor vehicle insurance paperwork so you get the care your policy covers.
Open Monday to Friday from 7:30 am.
Hurt at work, and unsure how you will manage a full day on the job?
We work with workplace injury claims from the first visit. Work conditioning includes exercises built around your job, practice of real work tasks, and steady aerobic work.
Over 25 years of ergonomic, workplace and functional assessments, including functional capacity evaluations.
Looking for massage, occupational therapy, bracing or dry needling?
All in the same clinic as your physiotherapy. Dry needling is done by a physiotherapist trained in it, usually as one part of a wider plan, and it is different from acupuncture.
