KINETIC CONTROL ANALYSIS AND TRAINING

Discover the transformative power of Kinetic Control Analysis and Training, a clinical solution honed over 25 years of dedicated research and practice.

At the core of Kinetic Control lies a sophisticated movement analytical system designed to uncover the underlying causes of movement impairments.

Whether influenced by pain, injury, fatigue, or other limitations, our movement strategies evolve over time, often leading to dysfunctional patterns.

By pinpointing muscular and joint restrictions, Kinetic Control empowers clinicians to address the root causes of pain. Furthermore, it illuminates muscle weakness and imbalances contributing to tissue overload and discomfort. Through targeted exercises and mobilization techniques, we guide patients towards reclaiming healthy, pain-free movement patterns.

In essence, Kinetic Control offers a path to correcting faulty movement patterns that perpetuate pain. By identifying and addressing these patterns, we pave the way for a life free from discomfort and restriction.

MCKENZIE THERAPY

Experience the transformative approach of McKenzie Therapy, a trusted system of patient care utilized worldwide for common musculoskeletal issues affecting the back, neck, and extremities.

Rooted in the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT), this approach hinges on the understanding that most musculoskeletal pain originates from a mechanical source. Through a systematic evaluation process, specific movements and positions are identified that can either exacerbate or alleviate pain.

By precisely applying these identified movements and positions, clinicians can not only alleviate pain but also address its root cause, leading to lasting relief and restoration. This empowers patients with effective self-treatment techniques, reducing their reliance on medical interventions.

The McKenzie Method® emphasizes the body’s innate capacity to heal itself without resorting to medication, surgery, or passive modalities. It’s a comprehensive approach that can effectively diagnose and treat a range of conditions, including headaches, back and neck pain, and extremity pain affecting areas such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles.

Notably, McKenzie Therapy shines in treating disc pathology, such as herniated or bulging discs, as well as neural-referred pain (radicular pain) in the arms or legs.

Experience relief and rejuvenation with our specialized shockwave therapy.

PILATES

Developed in the 1920s by Joseph Pilates, Pilates has become a popular exercise method for people of all ages and abilities. Originally designed to help injured athletes recover, Pilates has been adapted for everyone.

Pilates offers a unique blend of aerobic and non-aerobic exercise. It emphasizes controlled movements with precise focus, challenging your mind-body connection. Unlike traditional workouts, Pilates doesn’t aim for muscle exhaustion. Instead, the workout consists of a variety of exercise sequences that are performed in low repetitions, usually five to ten times, over a session of 45 minutes, emphasizing quality over quantity. Exercises can be performed on mats or with specialized equipment for added resistance.

The beauty of Pilates lies in its adaptability. Each program is tailored to the individual, ensuring it’s suitable for everyone, from elite athletes to those with limited mobility, pregnant women, and people with low fitness levels.

This personalized approach allows Pilates to benefit a wide range of people seeking to improve their core strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.

VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

Feeling Dizzy and Off-Balance? Vestibular Rehab Can Help!

Vestibular rehabilitation (VRT) is a personalized exercise program designed to treat dizziness and balance problems caused by inner ear issues. It’s a safe and effective alternative to medication for many people.

How Does Vestibular Rehab Work?

Your inner ear, eyes, and joints all work together to keep you balanced. Vestibular disorders disrupt this system, leading to dizziness and instability. VRT helps by:

Strengthening your balance system: Exercises retrain your brain to rely on healthy sensory information.
Calming incorrect signals: VRT helps your brain filter out faulty messages from the inner ear.
Recalibrate the vestibular system: Over time, VRT can help your balance control system function normally again.

Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Rehabilitation?

VRT can be a life-changing treatment for people experiencing symptoms like:

Dizziness
Imbalance
Nausea/Vomiting
Vertigo
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Headaches
Difficulty focusing in busy environments
Hearing problems

Ready to regain equilibrium and thrive? Contact Movement Solutions Physiotherapy today to learn more and see if VRT is right for you.

LYMPH DRAINAGE MASSAGE

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen limb. It should not be confused with a traditional massage. MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid.
