Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals with a significant role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease. We combine in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat symptoms of illness, injury, or disability.

Our Registered Physiotherapists (RPTs) are highly qualified to instruct functional movement and exercise, which can also be offered virtually from the comfort of your home. We also use modalities such as therapeutic laser and ultrasound, and some RPTs are trained in dry needling (IMS), custom orthotics, taping and bracing.

Registered massage therapy alleviates pain by encouraging fluid and energy flow in the body. Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) evaluate your health needs and provide an assessment and timeline of your recovery for your specific soft tissue or musculoskeletal condition. Then, your RMT manipulates the soft-tissue muscles of your body to relieve pain, rehabilitate injuries, reduce stress, increase relaxation, and aid in general health and wellness. We offer active (intense) or passive (gentle) hands-on therapy and suggest proactive care at home, such as stretches, myofascial release, and breathing and relaxation techniques.

From restoring joint range of motion, overall function, improving strength, correcting imbalances and compensatory patterns, or reducing pain, Kinesiologists can help. Using an evidence-based treatment model to patient care, they help correct body mechanics and restore mobility to injured areas.

A Personal Trainer offers more than just exercise prescription and instruction. We are here to offer support throughout the entire journey and utilize a holistic approach to training.  Personal Trainers offer motivation, support, individual goal setting, feedback, and accountability.

Rossland Physio is proud to offer state-of-the-art Theralase Cold Laser Therapy (CLT) to help speed healing from acute injuries and recovery post-surgery.

The Theralase Non-Thermal Therapeutic Laser system employs class 3B lasers, which are used specifically for tissue stimulation. When laser light interacts with tissue it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur which augment the natural biological healing process. The body’s cells absorb the light and transform it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to repair its own tissue. This “bio-stimulating” effect results in decreased pain and inflammation, increased tissue regeneration, and accelerated healing.

Cold Laser Therapy can be used for a wide variety of conditions, but the most impressive results are achieved when used early in the healing process to treat acute injuries. Post-surgical pain and recovery time can also be significantly lessened with CLT. Our team will evaluate whether this treatment is a good choice for you during your consultation.

Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS), developed by Dr. Chan Gunn, is based on the Gunn Theory of Neuropathic Pain. Gunn IMS is a form of dry needling that is extremely effective for treating muscle pain of neuropathic origin. It has nothing to do with Chinese medicine. Neuropathic Dysfunction is a condition of the muscles whereby the spinal nerve which supplies the “electrical supply” to the muscles is not communicating effectively. This can be as a result of a number of things, including:

• Degenerative arthritis
• Spinal disc injury
• Old injuries and scar tissue
• Repetitive overuse

The consequence of this miscommunication between nerve and muscle is that the muscles, over time, become shortened, weakened, pained, and unresponsive to or worsened by stretching and strengthening treatments, including those employed through physiotherapy, massage and chiropractic.

Custom orthotics can be a game-changer for patients with foot/ankle/knee and even hip and lower back problems. Matched with exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles, which are key to optimal lower body alignment and gait, custom orthotics provide support and correction as well as reduce ground impact forces. This results in improved alignment and biomechanics, reduced foot and leg fatigue, and consequently increased stamina for weight-bearing activities. We specialize in fitting our patients with custom orthotics for increased comfort and performance.
