Manual Therapy

We strongly believe that hands-on manual therapy is the most effective way to treat injury. We have never been an electrotherapy clinic and manual techniques are what gets patients better. Our treatments usually last about 35 to 45 minutes in duration, and we treat people of all ages, and all sports. During the session we will: take a detailed history, give a diagnosis, use up-to-date treatment techniques, exercise, educate the patient, and give an individual home exercise program.

Acupunture And Dry Needling

Acupuncture is a useful adjunct to physiotherapy. It can be used to release muscles, reduce pain, and release muscle spasm. It is very effective, clean and does not hurt.

Orthotics And Heel Pain

We are the Experts in Orthotic related ailments. Heel Pain? Flat-footed? Sore or Tired Legs? Feet Hurt ? Wearing Shoes Out Unevenly? Bunions? Back, or Knee Pain? Our bodies were designed to walk on soft natural surfaces. However, walking on hard unyielding surfaces can cause our foot to collapse, roll in excessively, or over-pronate. Similar to the tyres on a car, poor foot alignment can cause problems elsewhere in the body as well as the foot.

Bio-Mechanical Assessment

Visiting the Chiro, Osteo, or Physio more regularly than you want to? Many of us have one leg longer than the other causing back and neck pain. This simple difference in leg length can cause insidious back pain or pain of no specific cause or injury. We have heard many times "my back's gone out again for no reason"

Our new treatment system can give life-long relief from these problems. Ring us today, we have a very high success rate in treating these kinds of problem.

Golf provides its own very specific injury problems.

These are usually the low back and elbow. We have treated many keen golfers over the years and we know that they want to get back to the course as soon as possible. We will get you better as soon as we can and go through a golf stretching program to prevent injury reoccurance.

Sports Rehabilitation

We realise that many sporting patients have a strong desire to get back on the playing field as soon as it is humanly possible. Our treatment will get you better and get you back on track no matter what the sport. We have also worked on alot of golfers who have specific injuries such as elbow or back problems. No one is keener than these guys to get back to playing golf

Aches and Pains of School-Age Children

Children generally tend to have less injury worries than adults, as they have more elastic tissue in their structures. However, there are injuries specific to children that parents should watch out for. Growing pains, heel and knee pain, headaches, and uneven shoe wear. We have been treating kids for over 20 years now. If you are worried about your child come and see us today and we can discuss their problems and then get them better.

Workers Compensation And Veterans Affairs

At our clinics we happily treat any worker compensation, third party injury or veterans affairs. It is important to bring in as much information as you can regarding your injury such as insurer, date of injury and doctors referral. This makes it easy for us to bill the insurer or veterans affairs.

Taping

Just about any part of the body can be taped to alleviate pain, restrict unwanted movement, or provide stability. At our clinics we use only the latest taping methods. We also have a special ankle taping method for constant ankle sprainers.

Driving Professionally, or doing any Long Distance Trips?

The correct car-seat, matched to the driver, is extremely important. This is has become a strong area of interest to us at Harbord Physiotherapy. We are seeing more and more people injured from poor driver-seat mechanics, particularily amoungst professional drivers.
