Physiotherapy (PT)

Registered Physiotherapists

Physiotherapists use their judgment and techniques based on their extensive education, science and research to work with patients to help them walk and move freely after injury, recover mobility after illness or surgery, manage chronic diseases like arthritis and diabetes and much more. A physiotherapist will work with you to put together a treatment plan for your condition or injury, so you can get back to enjoying life and the activities you love. (from PABC Website)

With a Masters Degree of Physical Therapy, the study of physiotherapy is anchored in movement sciences and aims to enhance or restore function of multiple body systems. All physiotherapists at Reactive IM are members in good standing with the Physiotherapy Association of BC.

A hands on physiotherapy technique that includes gentle joint mobilizations and soft tissue release techniques to restore joint range of motion and facilitate fluid, pain free movement. Manual therapy is most often applied to the neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle/foot.

Electrotherapy treatment options such as TENS, interferential (IFC), and ultrasound, are applied to alleviate pain, reduce muscle spasm, decrease inflammation, and stimulate healing in combination with Physiotherapy. Neuromuscular stimulation can also be used to re-establish proper muscle activation/timing and optimize strength.

Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is thought to help accelerate the healing process. It can be used on patients who suffer from a variety of acute and chronic conditions in order to help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase functionality.

Various Physiotherapists at our clinic offer IMS / Dry Needling in combination with physiotherapy as a treatment option. IMS can be helpful to:

  • Decrease pain
  • Decrease muscle spasm
  • Reduce inflammation

Prior to booking your appointment, be sure to inform the front desk that you would like IMS to be considered as part of your treatment plan.

Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain. Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.

Mechanical Traction is a manual technique designed to reduce pressure on affected vertebral discs that are causing pain. A steady and controlled traction or decompression force on the spine takes the pressure off the joints and the discs in the spine, giving pain relief for many lower back pain and neck conditions.

Traction therapy can treat a variety of conditions and injuries, some of which include sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, facet disease, pinched nerves, and degenerative disc disease.

We use best practice techniques for a safe and timing return to hobby or play. Our physiotherapists will perform a detailed assessment to determine the mechanism of injury (trauma vs. slow insidious onset), extent of damage (specific stress tests), and identification of contributing factors such as posture, specific weakness, or training errors.

Dizziness and Vertigo are common symptoms following head injuries like concussion. Our Physiotherapists can diagnosis and treat dizziness, off balance, vertigo, or concussion that may be due to a fall, motor vehicle accident or workplace injury.

Following surgery the goal of physiotherapy is to optimize your healing and realize the full potential of your surgical procedure. Treatment will focus on restoring range of motion, re-activating specific musculature with neuromuscular stimulation and surgical-specific exercises, and decreasing your pain with electrotherapy or other modalities.

Taping techniques are used effectively to:

  • Reduce pain
  • Stabilize a joint
  • Improve joint mechanics
  • Prevent re-injury

This technique can be very effective immediately following an injury to reduce inflammation and prevent further injury, and is also used during rehab to restore joint mechanics and optimize your rehabilitation.
