IMS Physiotherapy (IMS = Intramuscular Stimulation / Dry Needling)
Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is a technique that physiotherapists, who have completed IMS certification, use to release or lengthen muscles that may be causing chronic musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain. Very fine needles (the same ones used in acupuncture) are inserted directly into the affected muscle, in order to stimulate healing. This is also often referred to, or known as, “dry needling.”
Vancouver-based physician Dr. Chan Gunn developed IMS in the ‘70s and now offers training and certification for other medical professionals at his Institute for the Study and Treatment of Pain (ISTOP) at the UBC Gunn IMS Centre in the Division of Sports Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia.
SHOCKWAVE Physiotherapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue. Shockwave therapy is sometimes referred to as EPAT, or extracorporeal pulse activation technology.
Shockwave therapy is a type of regenerative medicine (also known as an Orthobiologic therapy). It is used to treat tendinopathy as well as difficult-to-heal ligament injuries. Some degenerative Tendinopathies have an associated buildup of calcium in the tendon. Focused shock waves can break those deposits up.
The treatment can also promote healing after Orthopedic surgery — for instance, if a hip impingement has damaged tendons and ligaments around the hip. Surgery may correct the hip impingement, but after years of overworking and degeneration because of the impingement, the surrounding tendons often remain painful. Shockwave therapy can be used to address this secondary issue.
JAW - TMJ Physiotherapy
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most used joints in the body and is responsible for controlling movement in our jaws. Used daily, these joints are attributed to our capabilities for speech, swallowing, breathing, and eating and when the TMJ are in dysfunction, any of these activities are affected. The ligaments that help move and protect the TMJ can also cause pain. Because of this, TMJ is not only a dental concern, but also a musculoskeletal.

VESTIBULAR Physiotherapy
Vestibular rehabilitation is a graded-exercise approach to treating balance and dizziness disorders. A physiotherapist will perform a detailed assessment to determine the type of vestibular dysfunction you present with and then design an individualized program to reduce symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, or feelings of unsteadiness. These issues can occur throughout the course of life and vestibular rehabilitation has been shown to help people reduce symptoms and continue doing the things they love!
PELVIC FLOOR Physiotherapy
The main functions of the pelvic floor muscles are to support our organs (bladder, uterus, and intestines), control urination, control defecation, and to support healthy sexual functioning. Dysfunction of the pelvic floor is not uncommon after having a baby, the various stages of menopause, persistent pain conditions, post-prostatectomy, after hormonal changes or trauma. Even though these conditions are common it this does not mean it should always persist, and in many cases, there are treatments worth exploring to improve this.
