Treatments

Treatment

Physiotherapy

Manual Therapy is skilled hand movements used to assess and treat the joints, muscles and soft tissue throughout the body. Physiotherapists graduate with basic skills in manual therapy and continue to improve their skills through various continuing education options. One of our expectations at Treloar Physiotherapy is that our physiotherapists will work toward and complete their exams to become Fellows of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists Association (FCAMPT). To achieve this designation they must have excellent manual skills and a thorough knowledge of assessment and treatment approaches for patients with orthopaedic problems.

Clinical Pilates

All of our Clinical Pilates sessions are taught one-on-one by a Registered Physiotherapist in our private Pilates studio. Clinical Pilates is used in conjunction with traditional physiotherapy treatment as a form of exercise rehabilitation. Sessions focus on the basic principles of breathing, spinal alignment, shoulder placement, neck placement, and deep abdominal connection. You’ll work toward... Read More

Physiotherapy Dry Needling/IMS

Dry needling uses very fine, single-use, sterilized acupuncture needles to help relieve pain, increase range of motion, improve strength and control of muscles and stimulate circulation. It is called dry needling as nothing is injected into the body through the needle. All of our therapists who do this form of treatment have specific training in this technique. Acupuncture and dry Needling can ... Read More

Pelvic Floor Therapy

A session will involve a detailed history and assessment of your posture and pelvic mechanics. An internal exam is normally carried out (either vaginal and/or rectal) to assess the pelvic floor muscles. This is a digital exam only (no speculum) but it is not necessary if you have acute pain or are uncomfortable. It is important to find out how strong the muscles are, and if you can relax them properly. Based on the assessment findings and your goals, treatment will be tailored to suit you. It can involve advice, exercises, posture correction, manual therapy to the pelvis and internal muscles and possibly acupuncture or electrotherapy.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular / Concussion Rehabilitation is an exercise-based approach for treatment of dizziness and balance problems. After careful assessment and identification of the factors triggering the episodes of dizziness, appropriate techniques may be carried out to reduce current symptoms and/or an exercise program will be designed for each patient. This exercise regime is based on the rationale that repeated exposure will decrease the nervous system’s sensitivity to the stimuli. Balance and disequilibrium problems in the elderly have been shown to respond well to progressive balance retraining as well as specific stretching and strengthening techniques, based on assessment findings.

Concussion Rehabilitation

Traditional Acupuncture

Traditional Acupuncture is based on the theories and techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used as a method for balancing the body’s energy (Qi) to prevent or cure diseases and disorders. Traditional Acupuncture is the process of inserting very fine, sterile needles into carefully selected points along the body to stimulate the flow of energy and blood, and remove blockages so that the Qi can be dispersed and regulated. By stimulating the body’s various systems, Traditional Acupuncture can help to resolve pain, improve sleep and digestive function as well as promote a general sense of well being.

Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an innovative, modern and highly effective treatment method. High-energy sound waves are introduced into areas of pain within the body where pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be eliminated systematically. The beneficial effects of shockwave therapy are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments. The... Read More

The beneficial effects of shockwave therapy are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments. The therapy eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life.

Electrotherapy / Shockwave can be used in conjunction with your Physiotherapy appointment if your Physiotherapist recommends it as part of your treatment plan.

Telehealth (Online) Physiotherapy

Tele-Rehabilitation or Online Physiotherapy Video-Sessions are the use of information or communication technologies to allow you and your physiotherapist to connect via audio and/or video to receive physiotherapy services at a distance when an in-person visit is not possible. Please note that Telehealth services at our clinic can only be provided when the patient's location is in BC, Canada.
