Registered Massage Therapy
The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissue and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain
(Massage Therapy Act, 1991). Massage Therapy is a regulated health profession and is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist.

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy treatment that takes place in a pool. Movement in the water is easier than on land and allows freedom of movement that may not be possible on land. The effects of turbulence and buoyancy combined with water resistance help to reduce pain and muscle spasm, and improve strength, range of movement and flexibility. You do not need to be able to swim in order to benefit from hydrotherapy. Our Physiotherapists would be happy to assess you and set up an appropriate program for you.

Social Work

Counseling provides the opportunity to talk with a professionally trained counselor who is able to offer support, advice, and new and objective perspectives on your issues. Sessions will help you to clarify the problem, identify options open to you in the situation, work out what you hope to achieve and ways to achieve this goal, and provide support and advice as you work towards your goal. This service is provided by Susan Hrovat, Registered Social Worker.

Vocational Counseling

Vocational counseling is the process of helping a person develop and accept an integrated and total picture of his/herself and of his/her role in the world of work. It assists individuals to find satisfying, interesting and realistic roles in the environment.
