At Aurora Physiotherapy, we understand that education about your injury is imperative to your recovery. We use a team approach to educate you on your body’s functioning to help you improve your recovery and avoid future injury.
Acupuncture is a method of balancing your body’s energy by inserting small needles under the skin at specific points along energy pathways to prevent or repair disease and decrease pain and inflammation. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other forms of therapy to improve energy and biochemical balance – ultimately promoting your body’s natural healing abilities. Contact us today to see if acupuncture is the right fit for you.
Dry Needling facilitates relaxation and release in trigger points or tight bands in a muscle.
Vestibular dysfunction can result in dizziness, vertigo, imbalance and falls. VRT can improve symptoms related to many vestibular disorders.
At Aurora Physiotherapy, we offer therapeutic taping to help correct anatomical abnormalities and prevent recurring dysfunction of muscles and joints. We offer Kinesio Tape, Spider Tech and an assortment of other athletic tapes. Taping offers several benefits, including support and stabilization for muscles and joints and reducing pain. Tape can also help to limit or correct posture by unloading stress. Go one step further by getting fitted for a custom brace.
We encourage our patients to take an active role in their recovery through the use of home exercise programs. Our physiotherapists and exercise specialists work with you one-on-one to develop an exercise program that is tailored to your specific condition and includes detailed instructions, demonstrations, supervised observation and pictures to ensure you are doing them correctly. We can further customize your exercise program by incorporating exercises that mimic movements you frequently use at work or while playing sports so that you can return to your regular activities faster. We carry a large selection of cost-effective home rehabilitation products, such as exercise balls, resistance bands and exercise mats.
We sell a wide range of high-quality rehabilitation products that you can use at home to aid you in your current rehabilitation program. Here are some of the products and equipment that are available for purchase at our clinic:
