Peterborough Physiotherapy Clinic Reviews
Core Services at Clinic
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are skilled in the assessment and management of a broad range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems. Physiotherapy addresses many things including back pain, arthritis, repetitive strain injury, muscle strain, shoulder pain, and more.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is most often caused by an inflammation of the fibrous band that maintains the arch of the foot called the plantar fascia. Structural problems such as flat feet or high arches often result in arch pain inflammation which could eventually lead to other conditions like heel spur.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a comprehensive intervention involving a range of techniques to manipulate soft tissues and joints. Massage therapists help to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or relieve pain. It is a clinically oriented health option that achieves great results in chronic pain.
Chiropody (Foot Health)
Chiropody is the assessment and treatment of the foot. It also addresses prevention of diseases or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical, orthotic and palliative means. Our Foot Health Specialists are leaders experienced in orthotic therapy, wound management, diabetic foot health, and more.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist and client both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, and behaviours. It addresses issues including depression, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, addictions, stress, and more.
Vertigo and Dizziness
Vertigo and dizziness is a symptom of a problem in your Vestibular System – the part of your brain that controls balance and eye movement. Common symptoms include dizziness when lying down, waking up dizzy, and vestibular neuritis. Your Physiotherapist begins treatment by a thorough evaluation.
Toenail Fungus Laser Therapy
We know it can be quite embarrassing to wear open toed sandals when your toenails are infected with fungus. Our Chiropodists have developed an effective toenail laser treatment program. The toenail fungus laser treatment is quick, safe, and doesn’t have any side effects.
Custom Orthotics
Custom made foot orthotics are shoe insoles for your footwear that help correct structural problems in the foot such as high arches or flat feet. Our Chiropodists take 3D impression of your feet to prescribe custom orthotics made specifically for you.
Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Pain
Shoulder pain is often the result of bad habits over a long period of time. Common shoulder injuries include tendonitis, rotator cuff strain or tear, shoulder bursitis, impingement, capsulitis, and arthritis. With great results, we’ve treated thousands of patients with shoulder strains.
GLAD (Arthritis Program)
The GLAD exercise program is an education and exercise-based program developed in Denmark for individuals with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Particularly effective for treating arthritis, research from Denmark has shown a reduction in progression of symptoms by 27% and 10% increase in walking speed.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a light-based technology proven to be effective in treating an extensive range of musculoskeletal conditions. Cold laser treatment is particularly beneficial in treating arthritis in general, arthritis in hands, knee pain, sports injuries, back pain, accelerate the heeling of broken bones, and much more.
Morning Stiffness
Many people wake up with morning muscle stiffness like stiff ankles and legs. We are told this is part of aging and to live with it. Actually, joint stiffness is a common characteristic of arthritis. However, various exercises can be done to ease morning muscle stiffness and strengthen your joints.
