Acupuncture
Our modern physiotherapists are trained in the ancient Chinese medicine therapy of acupuncture. It is effective on many occasions in relieving chronic pain conditions and neuromuscular disorders such as headaches, neck and back pain.
Through the repeated penetration of the skin using thin metallic needles, we help to correct the imbalances of flow at points close to the skin and relieve your pain and stiffness.
Like so many of our treatments, the delivery of acupuncture is a highly customized therapy that allows us to work one on one with you as an individual to assess your problem areas and then gently stimulate them with the needles.
TMJ Dysfunction
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), is a term that describes an entire group of disorders involving the temporomandibular joint or joints (TMJ). The TMJs' are the jaw joints. There is one on each side of your head just in front of your ear canals. TMJ disorder usually presents with pain, clicking sounds, discomfort in chewing and episodes of locking of the jaw.
Since physiotherapists treat muscle and joint problems, they are ideally suited to address a TMJ disorder. Our physiotherapist can help to insure the following: You are properly educated, that your treatment is conservative and cost-effective, and the goals are realistic.

The corrective exercises will combine with golf specific drills to assist in optomizing your most efficient swing and you will be sent home "homework" (exercises) to work on improving your game.
Manual Therapy
At Beamsville Physiotherapy, we employ a hands-on technique called Manual Therapy to mobilize and manipulate your body as we work to decrease your pain and increase your range of motion. It is a highly effective method of adding flexibility to stiff joints and muscles.
These treatments, often coupled with prescribed exercises to do between visits so you can be a partner in your own recovery, allows you to regain your strength faster and get back to your normally active life as quickly as possible.
Post Surgical Rehabilitation
Science supports our conviction that physical therapy delivered both before and after surgery can hasten your complete rehabilitation.

Back pain can severely impact your quality of life and ability to care for yourself and others, and perform your work duties.

At the route of our physiotherapy is our detailed assessment to ensure that we know what is causing your pain. We want to fix the problem, not just cover the pain of the symptoms.
