Virtual Care
Virtual connection, real physiotherapy
In this new era of social distancing many of you have reached out to us worried about your worsening condition or new pain. Our virtual physiotherapy video sessions allow you to get help without leaving your house. You can have a face-to-face conversation with your physiotherapist and start feeling better now.
What's stopping you?
Pain-free movement and activity can elude you, but we're here to help
Staying healthy can be hard work and sometimes things get in the way. It often starts with an annoying ache or pain: the stiff and achey low back, the lingering knee pain, the painful shoulder at night. These warning signs can turn into bigger problems if not taken care of, robbing us from doing what we love.

Reviews
What our patients are saying about us
Mira has every bit of the knowledge and tools to make me feel better, and recover from my back injury. She is also willing to try different techniques, and I can tell that she's genuinely interested in my improvement.
- JS, Google Review
I came in with a high ankle sprain and from the first session I had no doubt that I would recover swiftly from the treatments and exercises. I appreciated that she took time to explain the dynamics of my sprain and the overall recovery process. She not only helped heal my sprain, she also helped me regain my confidence to get back to my active lifestyle.
- FS, Google Review
I thought my ankle would never heal, however, since beginning treatment, I have finally been able to notice a change! I also love the location right by Bonnie Doon mall and the option to book appointments online!

FAQ
Some questions we get asked often about physiotherapy
What is physiotherapy?
Our body has an optimal way to move. Poor posture, repetitive sports and activity cause imbalances to occur. These imbalances often remain undetected until there’s pain. Physiotherapists are trained in understanding, evaluating and treating human movement disorders and injuries.
What conditions do you treat?
Here is a small sample of the conditions we treat. If you don't see your issue on the list, don't hesitate to send me a message.
How long does it take to get better?
Once we've had an opportunity to personally understand and assess your problem, we'll be able to give you a timeframe for expected recovery. If we don't feel that progress is happening as expected we will work with you to understand the best course of action.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Physiotherapy is direct access. This means that you don't need a referral to come and see us. However, we'd recommend checking with your extended health (benefits) provider as they may still require a doctor's note to approve your insurance coverage.
Can I use my extended health benefits?
Yes, you can! Check with your benefits provider about how much coverage you have for physiotherapy. We have direct billing for most insurance providers including Alberta Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Great-West Life, and others. Check full list of companies we direct bill.
What kind of manual therapy do you provide?
We provide a range of manual therapy techniques including joint mobilizations, spinal and peripheral joint manipulations. As well, we use various soft tissue techniques to help improve muscle function.
Do you see post surgical patients?
AHS provides special funding to post-surgical patients for physiotherapy care. It has been some time since AHS has opened up this funding program to newer clinics and unfortunately we do not have this program. However, patients can still choose to see a physiotherapist not under this program and physiotherapy treatments can be submitted to your extended health benefits program.
What is IMS?
IMS or Intramuscular Stimulation is a technique developed by Dr. Gunn, a Vancouver medical doctor. He developed a treatment approach that uses acupuncture needles to address dysfunctional nerves and muscles. When nerves get irritated (neuropathic pain) through compression along the spine, the muscles associated with those nerves become irritated. The irritation results in a shortening of the muscles. By needling these muscles we can help to "reset" the nervous system, reduce pain and improve muscle function.
