PHYSIOTHERAPY

Bounce back from pain and injury with tailored education and exercise programming

PAIN & INJURY MANAGEMENT

Expertise, attention to detail, and a passion for getting you back to the things you love to do

A physio session at The Bridge involves a lot more than a hot pack and some stretches. We focus on crafting personalized solutions through a combination of carefully curated exercise-based treatment, patient education, and hands-on techniques with an emphasis on progressive overload and 1-on-1 care.

Exercise Programming

An active lifestyle demands active rehab and exercise is one of the most effective tools at our disposal. We tailor exercises to your individual needs and help you progress them over time to build resilience.

Patient Education

A better understanding of your pain, injury, or limitation and the process moving forward are essential building blocks in becoming an empowered participant in your own recovery.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques can be an effective tool to help manage pain and improve function in the short-term while we work to improve strength, resilience, and confidence for long-term change.

Sports Injury Rehab

We have been serving athletes in our community for over 40 years. From minor sprains to major surgical rehabs, our team has a wealth of experience helping high-performance athletes return to their sport with confidence.

Dry Needling / IMS

Using an ultra-fine needle, IMS works through stimulation of the nervous system to reduce the sensation of tightness in a muscle, increasing strength and mobility in the rest of your rehab.

Blood Flow Restriction

BFR training is a technique that combines low intensity exercise with blood flow restriction cuffs to produce high-intensity results at lower stress to your body.

What Our Patients Are Saying

“What a beautiful facility – but it’s not just the shiny new penny. Excellent staff – attentive and accomplished.

For at least 24 months now, my son has been suffering from sore knees and hamstrings. He had been under the care of other physical therapists but to no lasting effect.

But since moving over to The Bridge, the specialized exercises and attention have had an immediate and extremely beneficial effect and he’s never felt better.”

What Our Patients Are Saying

“If there were 100 stars, that’s the review they would be getting! The Bridge is an amazing facility supported by fantastic staff.

I ruptured my Achilles almost a year ago now and they have helped me through it all. The journey was not only physical, but mental as well, and the staff supported me immensely.”

What Our Patients Are Saying

“I’m pretty sure I am a walking billboard ad for The Bridge at this point from how many people I have told about this wonderful place. I cannot recommend this place enough!! From all of the friendly staff and overall inclusive atmosphere.

I’ve been to other physio places and have seen other physiotherapists before and they all pale in comparison to The Bridge.”

What Our Patients Are Saying

“After years of physio and chiro that I thought was sufficient enough (I thought I would have to live with my pain forever), I was referred here and it has made an enormous difference.”

What Our Patients Are Saying

“I’ve returned to The Bridge for the third time in five years. I learn so much about how to stay active every time. Each time I walk away with the information and tools I need to take care of myself and be stronger.”

FAQs

If you have a question that’s not covered here, head on over to our contact page and get in touch with us directly. Our team is always happy to help.

DO I NEED TO BE AN ATHLETE?

No, absolutely not! We have a special love for the athletic community, but you do not need to be an athlete to benefit from physiotherapy. No matter your goals, we can get you back to doing what you love pain-free.

Do you treat [x] injury or condition?

It’s safe to say that if it relates to you joints, bones, muscles, tendons, or pretty much anywhere in between, our team can help. Physiotherapists in Canada are frontline musculoskeletal experts and are an evidence-based, reliable, and trusted source for help with rehabilitation from pain and/or injury.

IS PHYSIO RIGHT FOR ME?

If you’re struggling with pain or injury, looking to improve the way you move, or want to build confidence and strength in your activities, meeting with a physiotherapist can equip you with an evidence-based strategy to meet your health and performance goals.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

Your first session will include a detailed assessment of your history, background, and goals moving forward. This extra time lets us get a holistic view of your pain or limitation to better inform your recovery. After we assess you, we will build a treatment plan involving education, relevant manual therapy, and a progressive exercise program.

DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?

No, physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers which means no referrals are needed to access our services.

How Do I choose The right Therapist for me?

Our therapists are well-rounded pain and injury experts, but everyone has disciplines, activities, or specific injuries that they specialize in. Start by looking around our online booking site to find their availability or head to the staff bios to find a physio who is a good fit for your activity/sport.

Does my insurance pay for physio?

Insurance coverage for physiotherapy will depend on your specific plan, but typically your insurance company will cover a percentage or a specific dollar amount of each session.

We direct bill to nearly all major private insurance providers for physiotherapy, including Alberta Blue Cross, Sunlife, Great West Life, Manulife, and many more. Don’t see your provider on that list? Give us a quick call or email to double check.
