Review
"Nicole was fantastic! She listened & assessed both ankle injury issues, determined the best method/exercises to build on over 4-6 weeks of recovery. After each Acupuncture session a noticeable improvement in mobility was felt too with great relief that efforts were on the right track so my daughter could get back to playing Soccer ⚽️ again!!"

Pelvic Health
Even though pelvic floor challenges are common, they are treatable and you should not have to live with them. Research strongly supports pelvic floor treatment as the first line of defense against incontinence and pelvic pain.
Common signs that can indicate a pelvic floor problem include:
- accidentally leaking urine when you exercise, play sport, laugh, cough or sneeze
- needing to get to the toilet in a hurry or not making it there in time
- accidentally losing control of your bowel
- a prolapse (pressure, bulging or discomfort in the pelvic area)
- pain in your pelvic area, or painful intercourse
Pelvic health treatment can help you regain control, maximize your function and recovery, and improve your well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I'm not covered by insurance?
Some patients do pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy. We accept most major credit cards, debit, and cash. We provide only the therapy you need, and we will empower you to supplement your in-clinic care with a home care program.
Do I need to bring anything with me?If you plan on having insurance cover your treatments, bring your insurance information and we can look into whether direct billing for physiotherapy is an option with your insurance provider. Bring your referral or doctor's note, if you have one. Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing.
What happens on my first visit?
You will be thoroughly assessed by a Registered
Physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will develop an appropriate treatment plan and get you started with treatment right away.
Is a doctor's referral necessary?
A doctor’s referral isn't necessary, but in rare cases, our physiotherapist may need you to see your doctor or a sports medicine physician to get further testing done. Note that some extended insurance may require doctor’s referral to get reimbursements for physiotherapy as well.
What shall I wear?
Comfortable, loose fitting clothing is suggested as specific areas in the body are subject for evaluation and treatment. For instance, if the issue is on you knee then it’s better to wear shorts or loose fitting pants that can be rolled up.
How many treatments do I need?
Number of treatments depends on your condition and the severity of your injury. Everyone responds differently to their type of treatment, but you will know on day 1, before you leave, what is suggested.
