Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy promotes, restores, and maintains physical function and mobility. It involves evaluating, diagnosing, and treating various conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiovascular systems. Your treatment plan may include joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, manual stretching, dry needling, massage, hot and cold therapy, and exercise prescriptions.


Sports Physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapists are certified by Sport Physiotherapy Canada (SPC) and specialize in sports medicine and injury management, athletic taping, protective equipment, emergency care, concussion management and exercise prescriptions. Sports physiotherapy is vital in assessing an athlete's readiness to safely return to their sport, monitoring progress, and minimizing re-injury risk.


Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

The pelvic floor, a crucial support structure for internal organs, influences core stability, bladder control, and reproductive health. Pelvic floor physiotherapy assesses and treats dysfunction through muscle training and manual therapy. From addressing incontinence to pelvic pain, this therapy provides a supportive space for tailored solutions to various pelvic health concerns.


Massage Therapy

Massage therapy promotes relaxation, reduces muscle tension, alleviates stress, enhances circulation, improves joint flexibility, aids in pain management and injury recovery, and fosters a balanced mind-body connection.

*If this is your first visit to GNP, please book a 45- or 60-minute massage, as your therapist will perform a brief initial assessment. Massage prices are subject to HST.


Concussion Management

Concussions are traumatic brain injuries resulting from head impacts or forceful movements that present symptoms like headaches, nausea, and concentration issues. Management plans are determined based on Shift Concussion protocols to address these symptoms and aid recovery.


Vestibular (Vertigo) Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation reduces vertigo, dizziness, visual issues, and imbalance. Your session will include using vestibular infrared goggles, which can help diagnose vestibular concerns by measuring involuntary eye movements (nystagmus). This non-invasive tool will assist your practitioner in determining the cause of dizziness and developing an appropriate treatment plan.


Custom Bracing

Custom braces are specialized orthotic devices custom-made to fit your body's unique shape and size. They can treat various conditions, including sprains and strains, joint instability, osteoarthritis, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Pricing will vary depending on bracing requirements.
