PhysiotherapyPhysiotherapy is a science-based treatment used to help patients affected by injury, disability or illness. It encompasses various approaches including rehabilitation, injury prevention, and fitness. Physiotherapists make use of hands-on clinical skills and aid in maintaining health for patients of all ages.
At the core of the treatment is the client’s participation in their own care. This can be achieved through awareness, empowerment and education.
Athletes tend to push their bodies with rigorous training schedules without sufficient rest in between. This results in severe muscle strain, which can affect their athletic performance. Dry needling can be used as a solution in such cases. It is a therapy used by physiotherapists, where ultra-fine needles are inserted into (myofascial trigger points) sensitive knots that form in muscles, ligaments, tendons, ligaments or near nerves. The aim is to stimulate healing for various painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Whether you’re going through a stressful time or are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, you should consider craniosacral therapy. This seemingly simple massage technique was developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, an osteopathic physician, between 1975 and 1983. Since its inception, this therapy has proved helpful in alleviating symptoms of many conditions and has been particularly successful in reducing stress and helping people cope with their anxiety.
If you have experienced a spinal cord injury, you may be aware of the excruciating pain associated with it. Even simple movements like walking and sitting straight become challenging. Such complications degrade the quality of life and may lead to depression. In some cases, surgery and medicines can help in stabilizing the spine; complete rehabilitation takes time and needs training and therapy. Clayton Heights Sports & Therapy Centre has been providing relief to patients with spinal injuries since 2011 with acupuncture and chiropractic services.
Whether you are a busy, working parent, an overworked professional or a young student, don’t you often wish you had more than 24 hours to complete the various tasks that you pack into each day? While leading a hectic lifestyle, you are always trying to achieve the perfect balance between earning a livelihood, parenting, maintaining your home and health, and a host of other chores.
For every misinformed well-wisher that cautions you about “the danger of cracking and popping your joints”, there are many more who will vouch for chiropractic services offering effective pain relief. You may not have talked to these people yet, but if you did, you would know that they value the pain-free healing experienced from visiting their chiropractor in Langley.
