The Town Physio
Physiotherapy at River Valley Health Solutions is provided by The Town Physio.
Proper treatment starts with an accurate assessment. Our physiotherapists excel at working through the complexities of any issue, whether looking at small nerve impingement or overall gait patterns, muscle weakness or muscle misfiring, and structural or functional pain patterns. They are our biomechanical specialists. Their tools include manual therapy, muscle programming and retraining, and modalities for healing such as laser and shockwave therapy. In addition, they will provide you with an individualized exercise program, but also spend the time to ensure it works for you.

Manual Therapy
By treating both acute and chronic injuries and optimizing the health of tissues, we aid an athlete’s preparation for or recovery from training and competition. In addition to treating specific injuries, we address muscle imbalances, release joint and fascial restrictions, and improve flexibility, with the goal of improving the athlete’s overall performance.
Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is an effective and non-invasive treatment that uses energy in the form of photons of light that penetrate the skin’s surface. By stimulating blood circulation and energy production, laser therapy results in a reduction of pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Shockwave
Shockwave therapy uses a sound wave to carry energy to painful and injured soft tissue—this triggers increased local blood flow and a healing process. It’s great for stubborn injuries where tissues don’t get much blood flow. Injuries such as ITB syndrome, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, bursitis, and calcific tendinosis are effectively treated with shockwave therapy.
Exercise Programs
Individualized, tailored programs that consist of mobility and strengthening exercises. A home exercise program can help improve muscle tone, strength, co-ordination, agility, flexibility, balance, and spatial awareness. Programs are designed to improve function and performance and to meet clients’ goals.
Taping
Taping is a modality used to complement traditional therapies to increase circulation and lymphatic flow, provide support, decrease pain and inflammation, and prevent injury.
Virtual Care
In times when visits to our clinic are not possible, we can connect virtually and provide you with the care you deserve without compromising that care. We can discuss your progress, modify your program, and help you with your exercise program to ensure your goals are being met.
