Our Services

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is the assessment, intervention and drug-free treatment for all health concerns related to movement and physical function. Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions, from common orthopaedic ailments to neurological disorders.

Your treatment will begin with a full hour assessment in order to determine the source of your issue, and then the physiotherapist will prescribe a course of treatment that is specifically designed to help you meet your functional goals. Treatment includes manual therapy, and may also include electro-therapeutic modalities, such as TENS and IFC, therapeutic ultrasound, as well as acupuncture, and remedial exercise. Physiotherapists additionally provide great insight and education with regards to management and prevention of pain, and maintenance of good function.

The specialized services offered by physiotherapists on our team - Derek Debassige, Tracy Chandler, Justin Smal, and Alexa Tipper - include acupuncture, concussion rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, pelvic health, SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment), persistent pain education, and custom orthopaedic bracing.

Please contact our staff at (705) 377-6244 to book your Physiotherapy appointment at any of our locations.

CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic care is a hands-on, manual medicine discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors are trained in providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. For many conditions, such as low back pain, chiropractic care can be the primary method of treatment. In cases where a multi-disciplinary approach is advisable, our team will coordinate with each other to advise you of the best options for your recovery.

Our chiropractor - Dr. Jonathan Best - will begin your treatment with a full hour assessment in order to determine the source of your issue, and then then decide on a course of treatment that is specifically designed to help you meet your functional goals. Treatment includes hands-on work, and may also include acupuncture and remedial exercise.

Please contact our staff at (705) 377-6244 to book your Chiropractic appointment at our head office location in M’Chigeeng or our satellite site in Wikwemikong.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage Therapy is the assessment and treatment of soft tissue and joint dysfunction and pain.  Massage can help restore flexibility and range of motion as well as increase overall wellness and relaxation.

Massage treatment at our clinic can include myofascial release, acupuncture, electrotherapy (including therapeutic ultrasound, IFC or TENS), taping, joint mobilization, and cupping therapy. Our experienced Massage Therapists - Lisa Corbiere, Barclay Peltier - also offer many specialized services such as craniosacral therapy, Thai massage, Indian head massage, and hot stone massage. Our Massage Therapist - Sara Law - is a Specialist-level practitioner in MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques®), correcting body mechanics that often lead to tight or sore muscles.

ATHLETIC THERAPY

Athletic Therapy is a health care profession that specializes in the prevention, assessment and care of musculoskeletal disorders especially as they relate to the pursuit of physical activity, or even simply the pursuit of moving well. A Certified Athletic Therapist utilizes contemporary rehabilitative techniques, therapeutic modalities, physical reconditioning and supportive strapping procedures to promote optimal healing and prepares the individual for safe reintegration into an active lifestyle. 

Our Athletic Therapist - Ian Murray - is a Master-level practitioner in MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques®). This is a specialized approach to the restoration of function, that is used to “jumpstart” the muscles in order for them to function with maximum efficiency.

Please contact our staff at (705) 377-4391 to book your Athletic Therapy appointment in our Aundek Omni Kaning (AOK) location.
