Physiotherapy
Helping to educate + empower the recreational athlete to make their body resilient and improve their longevity in fitness and in everyday life through 1:1 and small group physio sessions.

Want to kneel on the floor and play with your grandkids? I got you. Want to play beer league hockey and be able to walk the next day? See you soon.
Some conditions physiotherapy can help with:

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is effective for treating musculoskeletal pain, dysfunction, and specialized concerns including post-concussion rehab, vertigo, prenatal care, infant care and wellness.
You spine holds your nervous system which controls every organ and every function in your body. With every adjustment, you are re-aligning the pathway of communication between your brain and your body.
You’re balancing your nervous system and improving your body’s overall health. Chiropractic care can remove roadblocks and guide your body back on track. We do the adjustments and your body does the healing.
Chiropractic care can help to improve:
Back and neck pain and immobility
Headaches, migraines, vertigo, concussion symptoms, dizziness
Chronic pain
Issues in extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles)

Paediatric Physiotherapy
Did you know that paediatric physiotherapy can have countless benefits for children? From improving gross and fine motor skills to helping with sensory integration and much more, this type of therapy can make a big difference in a child's overall development
Expect a thorough discussion, assessment, movement screening and goal-setting to not only understand your child’s concerns but also create a plan of action and long-term solutions that may include:
Home lifestyle strategies to implement with the family
Manual hands-on therapy
Biomechanics assessment and cueing
Individualized exercise programs
Education on how to foster consistent improvement towards rehab goals
Additional modalities including cupping and sports taping/bracing when appropriate
Clinical Pilates Program
Clinical Pilates is an adaptation of traditional Pilates and is covered under the scope of Physiotherapy.
It is taught or programmed by a physiotherapist who is also a certified Pilates teacher and can be the perfect tool to strengthen core muscles and prevent or rehabilitate injuries.
One of the major focuses of this type of rehabilitative therapy is the development of strength in the core muscles - the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.
Clinical Pilates also focuses on movement biomechanics, breathing patterns and on postural education to prevent future injury.
Many of the basic principles of Pilates align with what research suggests to be an integral part of improving various health conditions including chronic low back pain, osteoarthritis, neurological conditions, sports injuries, and more. A physiotherapist closely assesses a patient’s mechanics and scales exercises to better prevent injuries.
We offer Small Group Clinical Pilates Classes and 1:1 Clinical Pilates Treatment Sessions.
Physiotherapy Yoga Program
Physiotherapy Yoga is a specialized form of therapy that is administered by qualified healthcare professional who is trained in both physiotherapy and yoga. It combines principles and practices of both physiotherapy and yoga to promote:
Physical rehabilitation
Pain relief
Overall well-being
Movement and body awareness + education

“Both Danielle and Dr. David have been incredible to work with. I went to Danielle for pelvic floor therapy and she truly helped me physically feel like myself again after having a baby. I cannot recommend her enough to new moms.”
”Dr. David empowers his clients by taking the time to investigate an issue, explain what is going on in the body and prescribe movements that you can do to improve/prevent further issues. His adjustments are great and I always leave feeling better.
I highly recommend Flow Physio + Wellness!”
