We know that many people in our community have had a change in their employment situation or have been forced to discontinue out-patient physiotherapy at the hospital due to restrictions in place because of Covid 19. We want to reach out to those of you that are working through an injury on your own. Or those that have had recent surgery and have been unable to attend sessions at the hospital to progress you through your rehabilitation. If you no longer have Physiotherapy in...surance coverage, but still need help to get through a recent injury or surgery, we are here to help. We are running a small pro bono (free physio) program for those in need alongside our regular Physiotherapy services. The service is provided via our Telehealth program. Limited spaces are available and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. The program will remain in place until we are able to open our physical space to the public again. We hope this affords those without access to public (hospital) physiotherapy an alternative to care while we all work through this time together. If possible, a referral from your physician is appreciated. Please tag someone you know that would benefit from this. Sackville Business Association CAMPT #Physiotherapy

Calling all active Mom’s! Regardless of low long ago you gave birth and regardless of how (vaginal delivery or c-section). Pregnancy changes how we connect with and use our abdominal canister. So often Moms are in such a hurry to get their pre-pregnancy body back and jump back to their routines too quickly - participating in classes or exercises that are heavy on the upper abdominals. This course is designed to re-establish the normal coordination of the abdominal canister, activation of lower abdominals and progressively and systematically teaching you how to layer on the upper abdominals. Let us help you build a solid foundation!!!

We are open for virtual care! Telehealth Physiotherapy services are covered by most insurance companies exactly like in-clinic Physiotherapy! We can asses, provide advise, design and teach home exercise programs, and help modify or advance training plans for fitness and running. We are also able to deliver equipment to help with home pain relief. Please email us or call us and leave a message at 902.865.2865 to book an appointment

Registration closes on Monday, March 30. Classes start that week. Make some time for yourself and join us online. We'll help you prepare for return to your regular fitness routine stronger and more resilient.

Email [email protected] for further information and to register for the course. Starts April 1, 2020.
