Physiotherapy

Active injury rehab with expert therapists

A physiotherapy session at The Bridge involves a whole lot more than a hot pack and a TENS machine.

Our therapists focus on crafting solutions for each patient through a combination of a thorough assessment, hands-on techniques, and carefully curated exercise-based treatment with an emphasis placed on attentive 1-on-1 care.

Whether you’re coming in for injury rehab, to resolve chronic pain, or you want to push through a performance plateau, our physiotherapists provide you with the knowledge and expertise to make sense of your limitation and a detailed plan moving forward to resolve it.

To us, restoring our patients back to their pre-injury baselines is not enough. We are committed to optimizing your body to make sure you leave stronger and more prepared for whatever moves you.

Chiropractic

A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TO PAIN

Many chiropractic clinics operate on a basis of continuous patient care. They want you to return consistently for a quick fix that keeps you coming back. This is great for their wallets, but not for your health…

At The Bridge, our team breaks the trend of traditional chiro treatments and instead embraces a progressive approach to pain and injury through evidence based practice.

Our longer, more detailed appointments not only address the painful symptoms of an injury, but the underlying causes as well.

Whether you’re a high-performance athlete, a weekend warrior, or not an athlete at all, our promise is to get you back to doing what you love as quickly as possible while also crafting a long-term solution unique to you.

baseline testing, symptom management & return-to-activity plans

As our understanding of brain injuries becomes clearer, our team of physiotherapists is on the cutting edge of concussion rehabilitation.

Rather than focusing on cutting all activity and stimulus for extended periods of time, we work with our patient to develop a progressive plan to get our patients back to activity (whether that is school, work, or sport) as safely and efficiently as possible.

With baseline testing, symptom management, and return-to-activity plans, our team is your solution to taking the headache out of concussions.
