Registered Physiotherapists @ Performance Clinic

Our physiotherapists are university-educated and trained to Master’s Degree level, with decades of combined experience treating a wide variety of patients and clients.

Physiotherapy aims to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient's mobility, function, and well-being.  Registered Physiotherapists provide biomechanical diagnosis of injury and movement dysfunction, treatment and education.  Treatments combine those strategies most appropriate to the client: manual therapy (joint mobilization / manipulation), myo-fascial and neural release, IMS / dry needling, taping, rehabilitative exercise and education. In addition to hands-on treatments, we provide expertise and analysis of movement to determine correction of movement patterns and how to best address them. This requires a detailed full-body orthopaedic assessment and prescriptive rehabilitative exercise program for injury prevention and movement correction. Our physiotherapists work is based upon many years of clinical experience, and we work with all types of patients.
