Physiotherapy Services at York-Med Physiotherapy & Wellness Centre

At York-Med Physiotherapy & Wellness Centre, our highly skilled therapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and orthopedic conditions. Whether you’re recovering from sports injuries, surgery, or managing chronic conditions like arthritis, we are here to provide you with personalized care to help you recover and regain optimal function.

We specialize in the treatment of:

Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Disorders: Including conditions related to fractures, ACL/MCL ligament injuries, total knee and hip replacement, meniscus injuries, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and more.

  • Neurological Conditions: Such as post-stroke rehabilitation and spinal cord injury recovery.
  • Sports Injuries: From acute sprains/strains to ligament tears and overuse injuries.
  • Back and Neck Pain: Including disc herniation, sciatica symptoms, and spinal conditions.
  • Post-Operative Recovery: Pre and post-surgical rehabilitation for a wide variety of procedures.

Our approach combines evidence-based techniques to ensure that each patient receives the highest quality care, including:

Manual Therapy and Mobilization

Manual therapy involves the application of skilled passive movements to joints and surrounding tissues. This treatment technique, including both mobilization and manipulation, reduces pain, increases range of motion, and improves joint function. It also enhances nerve mobility, muscle flexibility, and restores normal function.

We apply manual therapy only after a thorough assessment, ensuring that the technique is safe and appropriate for your condition. Our therapists are trained in advanced manual therapy techniques through post-graduate education to ensure effective treatment.

Exercise Prescription

Extensive research shows that therapeutic exercise is crucial for the recovery of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. At York-Med Physiotherapy, we prescribe personalized exercise programs tailored to your injury to restore function, strength, and independence. We believe that active treatment and exercise are fundamental for optimal recovery, and we encourage patients to be actively involved in their rehabilitation process.

Our therapists will guide you through exercises in the clinic, then provide you with an appropriate home exercise program to ensure progress and recovery.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrical stimulation to promote tissue healing, reduce pain and swelling, and restore normal muscle and joint function. It includes various modalities, such as:

  • TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
  • IFC (Interferential Current Therapy)
  • Ultrasound Therapy
  • Laser Therapy
  • Shockwave Therapy

These treatments help to block pain signals, improve circulation, and promote tissue repair. Electrotherapy is an effective alternative to medications, offering a safe option without the side effects associated with chemical treatments.

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to treat chronic tendinopathies and musculoskeletal conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, plantar heel pain, tennis elbow, and calcific tendinitis. The sound waves stimulate cell repair and tissue remodeling, reducing pain and improving function.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses focused light to promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. It’s particularly effective for conditions like rotator cuff injuries, osteoarthritis in the knee/hip/ankle, and various musculoskeletal injuries.

Spinal Rehabilitation

Our spinal rehabilitation services include a combination of manual therapy, postural evaluation, and individualized exercise programs to address conditions such as spinal disc herniation, sciatica, whiplash, and chronic neck and back pain. We also offer spinal decompression techniques for patients with conditions affecting the spinal discs.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

We provide comprehensive care for sports injuries, including acute care, taping and bracing, and return-to-sport programs. Our team specializes in treating injuries related to the shoulder, knee, foot, and ankle. Whether you’re recovering from a ligament injury or preparing to return to your sport, we’ll help guide your rehabilitation process.
