We treat both orthopaedic and neurological conditions. If your situation warrants rehabilitation outside of our current scope, we will refer you to the appropriate service. For instance, if you are struggling with chronic pain and/or high muscle tone, we can assess you for treatments like Botox or Bracing and facilitate the referral. If you are wondering whether robotic assisted rehabilitation would work for you, we can help determine whether you would benefit from it and facilitate a referral. Krisztina also provides consultation services to clients who are seeking a second opinion on their diagnosis and/or treatment plan.


Conditions requiring physiotherapy treatment are sometimes categorized by “Orthopaedic Rehabilitation” (musculoskeletal injuries, diseases and surgeries) and “Neurological Rehabilitation” (disorders of the nervous system that affect the sensorimotor functions of the body). Today there is significant cross over between these two categories as we are becoming more aware of how the nervous system functions and incorporating the latest of what neuro-rehabilitation offers into the treatment of orthopaedic problems. In other words, rehabilitating after a total hip replacement can and should include an assessment and treatment of altered movement patterns due to years of chronic hip pain, and thus preventing the development of faulty motor patterns post-op. If you don’t see your condition on this lists below, we recommend that you still contact us.

How We Treat

We offer a model of comprehensive treatment and support that includes access to the following services

It is you, the client, who is the agent of change. Active treatment means the client is learning therapeutic activities to execute them independently or with caregiver support, while also actively engaging within sessions. A necessary component of successful active therapy is setting goals based on the client’s own values so they take ownership of the process and the outcome. The therapist’s role is to provide the appropriate physiotherapy treatment plan and to assist the client in cultivating and maintaining a growth mindset throughout the process.

Passive modalities refer to the client's role as a passive recipient of care during physiotherapy sessions. It may include the use of physical therapeutic agents such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, acupuncture, manual therapy and so on. Modalities can enhance recovery but they work best when combined with active treatment. The benefits of modalities on their own are usually not sufficient for lasting change. We bring modalities to you, and they are included in the service fee. If you need to purchase or rent a modality such as TENS, we will help find the right device for you.

We advocate for client’s needs in the community based on what the situation requires. Some examples of when this may be necessary include: 


• we may need to get in touch with your treating physician to explain assessment findings and ask for further testing; 

• we may need to advocate on your behalf to Home and Community Care for new supports or help with regular scheduling of PSWs and PSW training; 

• we may need to refer you to specialists or agencies (e.g. Alzheimer Society or Dale Brain Injury). 


Advocacy can mean a world of difference in long term outcome and is included in the service fee.

Skilled coaching may be a necessary part of the recovery journey. When deemed appropriate, you will be paired with a skilled physiotherapy assistant who is trained in your specific treatment plan. We will also train support staff who are involved in care (e.g. caregivers, relatives, PSWs) in safe mobility and exercise support. Training of support staff is an integral part of long term client success and is included in the service fee. 


One area that is often misunderstood is palliative physiotherapy, where the goal is to keep a person as mobile and pain-free as possible. We achieve this goal by teaching the client and the caregiver(s) about appropriate mobility exercises and positioning. This concept may seem counterintuitive due to the fact that the client is palliative, however if you consider that dying is part of the human condition, it makes sense to do whatever is necessary to support a palliative person by giving them the best possible quality of life no matter how long they have left.
