Therapy Services
Our approach at North Bay Physiotherapy is to treat the whole body, not just an isolated injury. We offer a variety of personalized, one-on-one treatments to ensure our patients’ long-term health and wellness.
Physiotherapy Consultation
An initial consultation allows us to assess your injury and get you started with an active treatment plan to get you back to the things you love. This assessment entails an hour long visit where we will take a detailed history of your injury or pain in combination with a movement examination to optimize and initiate a tailored treatment plan.
Exercise Prescription
At North Bay Physiotherapy we believe in individualized exercise prescription and progression to help the body heal from injury.
Manual Therapy
With additional specialization in manual therapy assessment and treatments. Our therapists can use a patient centred approach to tailor hands on techniques to facilitate joint mobility and pain relief.
Soft-tissue release
According to an expert (Jim Bilotta) and simply put, Soft-tissue Release is applying precise pressure during a specific stretch. It is a combination of myofascial release, therapeutic massage, and active assisted stretching in order to decrease muscle tension and reduce pain.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine that utilizes cups being applied to the skin and applying suction to create a seal. The purposes of cupping are to release, or loosen, muscle or fascial tissue, increase blood flow/ local circulation, and ultimately reduce pain.
Functional Dry Needling
Our therapists are trained in Dry Needling which is a form of acupuncture designed to provide pain relief and improved function through releasing trigger points or tight bands of muscle.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Qi (pronouned chee) energy in the body. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the root of the cause of patient ailments. The therapeutic effects of acupuncture include: pain relief, increased energy, improved mood, and improved body function.
Sports Rehabilitation
Sports rehab is a targeted treatment approach to get athletes back to their sports in a safe and efficient way. After injuries, athletes will need to decrease swelling, increase mobility, and regain strength prior to return to functional or sport-specific movements. This is accomplished through the use of many different treatment techniques, modalities, and guided exercises.
Concussion Management
Our therapists have taken advanced healthcare provider programs that include training on concussion assessment and rehabilitation. This often involves a combination of treatment techniques to rehabilitate the various systems that may be effected such as: vision, balance, coordination, and neck pain.
