What We Offer

What to Expect at Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

Your first visit to Balance Physiotherapy is designed to help you fully understand your body. Our experienced physiotherapists begin with a detailed assessment, discussing your injury history, lifestyle, and overall health.

We’ll evaluate your posture, mobility, and movement patterns to identify the root cause of your pain, whether it stems from sports injuries, chronic injuries, or day-to-day repetitive strain. From there, your physiotherapist will explain your diagnosis and outline a customized treatment plan to support your recovery.

Each appointment is one-on-one in a private room, ensuring the highest level of patient care. You’ll leave your first session with a clear understanding of your rehabilitation process, practical tools to begin healing, and a roadmap to help you move pain-free and confidently toward your goals.

Common Injuries We Help With

At Balance Physiotherapy, we treat a wide range of acute and chronic injuries that affect your ability to move and enjoy daily life. Whether you’re an athlete or simply dealing with the physical demands of work or aging, our team of physiotherapists can help.

We provide treatment and rehabilitation for:

  • Sports injuries – sprains, strains, and overuse conditions
  • Musculoskeletal injuries such as back, neck, knee, and shoulder pain
  • Joint replacements – hips, knees, shoulders
  • Orthopedic surgeries – ACL reconstruction, meniscal repairs
  • Chronic pain
  • Mobility limitations
  • Workplace or car accident-related injuries
  • Balance and coordination issues
  • Presurgical Support
 

For optimum outcomes from surgery such, as hip or knee replacements, ACL reconstruction, shoulder or ankle surgery, physiotherapy prior to these procedures provides education, builds confidence, and builds strength, preparing you for an overall better outcome.

Injury Prevention and Training Support

Prehabilitation sessions focus on guiding and helping you to avoid injuries in your everyday life as well as improving and maximizing your performance in sports and activities. Guidance and maintenance is key when training for an event like a cycling fondo or a 10K run, a triathlon, or an Ironman. Preventative physiotherapy can help you safely achieve your personal best in all your active pursuits.
