Our physiotherapists are well trained practitioners who have gone that extra step, and continue to do so, in progressing their skills to become experts in body mechanics. Our physiotherapists are certified in acupuncture/dry needling and have all gained further advanced training in manual therapy and Pilates. They use manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and strength and stability exercise. We do not just treat the acute issue - we strive to find the core of the problem and educate on prevention techniques to avoid reoccurrence.

Clinical Pilates Reformer is known for and has plenty of evidence for the benefits it can create to better one's posture and spinal mechanics. . The reformer can be utilized by all and can be individualized to take into each person’s baseline and goals. We can use the reformer for rehab purposes where building the foundation of your core is key. As well, work on the reformer is a gentle, safe yet very effective way to stretch, balance and build up whole body strength.

All clinical Pilates sessions are led by a licensed physiotherapist, which gives us a different way of thinking when it comes to reviewing mechanics and progressing rehab when using the reformer. Our Pilates-trained physiotherapists have further strived to progress their Pilates practice through a variety of professional development courses, which include a focus on dance/ballet, advanced spinal rehab and golf mechanics.

The feet are commonly missed or not thought of as a priority in rehab, which is why at Seven Summits Rehab and Health, we use our highly skilled therapists to address foot mechanics by observation, palpation and pressure-plate gait analysis. The pressure-plate analysis allows the physiotherapist to assess the mechanics and pressures that we are unable to via observation and palpation alone. The gait scan analysis then gives us the option of fitting orthotics, but our priority is to use the scan information to build a rehab program so that you may not need to rely on orthotics at all.

Clinic owner James uses his physiotherapy training to understand the injuries that are connected with climbing to help himself and his patients. He uses a full body approach to the assessment linking body mechanics used in climbing, mobility, strength and stability. By identifying such asymmetries and imbalances, James will provide you with a tailored plan of exercises and rehab recommendations with the goal of improving performance, movement and prevention of injuries.

Although specific to climbing, the session will be classed as a physiotherapist appointment as the focus here is on injury rehabilitation/prevention. Anyone from all walks of life and of any age with a passion for climbing will benefit from the assessment to gain an increased awareness of their body mechanics.

We encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to book in for a strength and conditioning assessment to review your mechanics. S&C work can be for everyone.

TCM is an ancient philosophy dating back thousands of years. It is a complementary system of healthcare that can provide another perspective on what may be causing your health issues, and can be used as an additional tool in maintaining your body's health. A key principle in TCM is your body's Qi, which is energy flow that is vital to sustaining positive mental, emotional and physical health. When your Qi is imbalanced, then we see symptoms arising.

Once imbalances are identified, our TCM practitioner will use appropriate strategies to improve the energy flow. Such strategies may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, acupressure, Tui Na massage, Chinese herbs and TCM nutritional advice. Perhaps the symptoms are not solely originating from a dysfunction of the muscle or ligament, so TCM can be a powerful way to look at your body's imbalances and provide an alternate lens.
