For recreational activities like golf, skating, yoga or running, posture actually plays an important role in performance. Posture is critical in preventing workplace injuries that come from repetitive stress or sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day. Physiotherapists can help you discover how to improve your posture by demonstrating positions and stretches for when you start to feel the tension in your body.

PTSD – Reclaiming control of your mind
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a distinct approach to psychotherapy, focusing on rapid and effective resolution of symptoms. With ART, our therapists guide clients to replace negative images associated with Post-Traumatic Stress with positive ones, empowering individuals to reclaim control over their mental well-being.

Energy Clearing for Arthritis Relief
Emotions aren’t just in our minds—they’re stored in our bodies, often manifesting as physical discomfort or disease. Arthritis, for example, can be a reflection of unresolved emotions. The location of arthritis in the body can indicate specific emotions needing release. For instance, arthritis in the hands may relate to control issues or holding on too tightly, while in the knees, it may signify fear or inflexibility. By using energy clearing techniques, we can release these stored emotions, reducing the physical symptoms and getting to the root cause. Addressing these emotional roots can help to prevent the recurrence of discomfort, fostering true healing.
