Are you where you want to be functionally after your orthopedic surgery (total hip or knee replacement, rotator cuff repair, ACL repair etc.)? Physiotherapy empowers you to take ownership of your recovery whether your surgery is recent or in the distant past. It helps you reach your goals whether they are pain-free daily activities (driving, cooking) or returning to sport (trail walks, golf, running). The length of your rehabilitation is determined by the initial assessment and where you are in your recovery. All programs follow the surgeon’s recommendations and are tailored to your needs.

Unfortunately, many older adults fail to recognize the symptoms of depression, or don’t take the steps to get the help they need. There are many reasons why elderly depression is often overlooked. You may assume that is just part of aging, or you may be isolated with few people around to notice your distress. You also may be reluctant to ask for help. Of course, when you’re depressed, putting steps into action can be hard, but taking a short walk, for example, can boost your mood for the next two hours. By taking small steps day by day, you’ll find yourself feeling more energetic and hopeful again. Reach out for help if you are struggling.

If you or someone you know could benefit from improved energy, deeper sleep, less pain, increased mental stamina and improved immunity, this is the treatment for you. With our ionic detox foot bath, you will put your feet in a lined copper tub while the array works its magic by recharging the water with healthy ions that travel through your feet into your body at the cellular level. These ions recharge and revitalize tired, old and sick cells by rehydrating and stimulating them, allowing them to release toxins and absorb nutrients more efficiently. This treatment detoxifies the lymph and organs safely and comfortably. You will feel the difference from this fantastic treatment!
