Our Physiotherapy Services
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy: Assessment
Our musculoskeletal assessments are the foundation of effective treatment. We take a detailed look at how your body moves and functions as a whole, allowing us to pinpoint the true source of discomfort.
Your assessment may include:
-
joint mobility and range of motion testing
-
muscle strength and flexibility evaluation
-
postural analysis
-
movement pattern assessment
This comprehensive approach ensures your treatment plan is precise, targeted, and built for long-term results—not short-term relief.
Post Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical recovery requires a carefully guided and progressive plan. We support you through each phase of healing, focusing on restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and reducing pain or stiffness.
Our goal is to help you:
-
regain mobility safely
-
restore strength and stability
-
return to daily activities with confidence
Every program is adapted to your procedure, timeline, and recovery goals.
IMS & Dry Needling
IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) and dry needling are advanced techniques used to treat muscular pain and dysfunction at its source. By targeting tight or irritated muscles, this therapy helps release tension and restore proper muscle function.
This treatment can help:
-
reduce persistent or chronic pain
-
improve range of motion
-
release deep muscle tightness
-
support faster recovery
It is especially effective for patients dealing with long-standing muscle dysfunction or recurring pain patterns.
Prehabilitation & Exercise Prescription
Prehabilitation focuses on preparing your body before surgery or physical activity by building strength, stability, and resilience. Combined with customized exercise prescription, this approach plays a key role in both recovery and injury prevention.
We design programs that:
-
target your specific condition or goals
-
improve strength and flexibility
-
support safe and effective recovery
-
promote long-term physical health
These exercises are tailored, progressive, and built to fit your lifestyle.
Spinal Manipulation / Adjustment
Spinal manipulation refers to a manual therapeutic technique aimed at enhancing joint mobility and function in the spine. Through the application of precise, controlled methods, this approach is intended to alleviate stiffness, reduce discomfort, and promote improved range of motion.
This treatment is commonly used for:
-
neck and back pain
-
joint stiffness and restricted movement
-
postural imbalances
The result is improved alignment and more natural, pain-free movement.
Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are designed to improve the way your feet support and align your body. By correcting biomechanical imbalances, they help reduce strain throughout the lower body.
Orthotics may help with:
-
foot pain (plantar fasciitis, arch issues)
-
knee, hip, and lower back discomfort
-
walking or running inefficiencies
They provide long-term support for both daily activities and athletic performance.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialized form of care focused on treating dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. Through guided exercises, we help retrain your body’s balance system and reduce symptoms.
This therapy is designed to:
-
Improve balance and coordination
-
Reduce dizziness and vertigo episodes
-
Restore confidence in movement
It is a highly effective, non-invasive approach for managing vestibular conditions.
Gait Assessment
A gait assessment evaluates how you walk or run to identify inefficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to pain or injury. Small movement issues can often lead to larger problems over time if left unaddressed.
Through gait analysis, we:
-
identify movement compensations
-
assess alignment and stride patterns
-
provide corrective strategies and exercises
This allows for improved performance, reduced injury risk, and better overall movement efficiency.
Clinical Pilates Reformer
Clinical Pilates Reformer is a controlled, low-impact exercise method focused on improving core strength, posture, and body awareness. It is commonly used in rehabilitation to support recovery without placing excessive strain on the body.
This approach helps:
-
build core stability and control
-
improve posture and alignment
-
enhance flexibility and coordination
Ideal for both recovery and prevention, it offers a safe and effective way to strengthen the body and support long-term function.

TESTIMONIALS
“I had been recommended to come to Balance Physiotherapy after injuring my back working out. When I started about a month ago I wasn’t able to sit down without having to support myself. Now I have began returning to the gym and have got my normal range of motion back. I have had an amazing experience with every staff member I have met, everyone has been super kind and understanding. I couldn’t recommend this establishment more!”
