Physiotherapy

• Our physiotherapists here at The Ability Clinic will perform a thorough intake assessment, utilizing doctor’s notes and other investigations as needed, to design an individualized program for you. This is a goal and function-oriented approach, to deliver results to help optimize your quality of life. No two patients are the same, and your physical therapy shouldn’t be either!

• Techniques Used: Education, manual manipulation, exercise program

• Special Techniques: Neurofunctional acupuncture is a painless technique that produces immediate and lasting changes in strength, range of motion and symptoms. We utilize a comfortable electrical impulse to address your nervous system to stimulate nerves and muscles.

Physiotherapists undergo rigorous training, having completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Physiotherapy and/or a clinical Master’s of Science degree in Physiotherapy.
