Massage
At West 5 Physio & Health Centre we put our clients first. All of our therapists are Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), and are subject to the training and competency requirements of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Our RMTs do what they love most: helping you work through any pain, injury, stress or other condition to help you relax, release tension, and achieve your rehab and wellness goals. Our therapists always go above and beyond to give you a tailor-made treatment to best suit your needs.
You deserve the gift of relaxation, relief, and improved well-being!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an evidence based therapeutic treatment that uses single-use, sterile, disposable, thin needles to attract blood flow to an injury site. Acupuncture decreases pain and inflammation, promotes healing, and improves nerve health. Performed correctly, it is a safe and effective method to enhance healing in affected areas. The number of treatment sessions will vary with each person and the condition being treated. Relief may be noticed immediately, others notice improvement within a few hours, or after a few days.
Transitioning to a healthier life is only a few steps away!
We Offer Even More To Serve You
Prehabilitation
Prescribing exercise and activities to improve your functional abilities before surgery. The goal is to decrease your hospital length of stay, speed up your recovery and return to “normal” activities, and reduce surgical complications.
Post-Surgery Care
Recovering from surgery? Everyone can benefit from physio and a rehab program. Our therapists work collaboratively with your surgeon to decrease your pain, improve your mobility, restore your function and quality of life.
Health & Wellness
Through a thorough assessment, we will take the time to meet you, learn about your story, ease your anxiety, support and encourage you, while giving you the resources and confidence to take the next step in your health and fitness journey.
Concussion Rehab
Concussions and their longterm effects are one of the biggest challenges individuals face. Recovering from a concussion can be a difficult and frustrating time. Everyone is impacted differently and as such, requires an individualized care plan.
Orthotics
Customized medical devices that are designed to align your foot and ankle in the optimal position. Orthotics work much like glasses do on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body, decrease pain and improve tolerance to activities.
Custom Bracing
A brace specifically designed to suit your unique needs – a better fit, more comfort. Adding external support to your injury can decrease your pain during daily tasks and recreational activities. With a good assessment a brace can be highly effective.
Compression Socks
Medical grade compression stockings/ socks promote better venous flow to help control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other leg conditions. Compression stockings are available in a wide variety of grades and styles to suit you.
Dizziness (Vertigo)
Our therapists have completed extra training and understand dizziness. Treatment depends on your assessment findings, but often involves hands-on techniques, head manoeuvres, an exercise program, or a combo of those strategies.
Jaw Pain
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is commonly known as jaw pain. Trained therapists can help your pain and clicking by teaching you relaxation, stretching and strengthening exercises for the face, head, neck and postural muscles.
