We have been closely following how our Provincial and National Health Authorities have guided physiotherapy clinics on the best strategies to keep our patients safe while also welcoming them back into the clinic for treatments. 

We will be open for BOTH in-clinic and virtual physiotherapy appointments starting May 19th 2020.  The clinic may look slightly different but we can promise that you will still receive the highest quality of care. 

We will be offering:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Clinical Pilates Physiotherapy
  • Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy (External exam/treatment only)
  • Registered Massage Therapy

This visual gives you an idea of what you can expect from us.
