Kinetic Mobile Physiotherapy

URGENT: COVID-19 Pandemic Due to the recent declaration of a Public Health Emergency in Alberta, as well as the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's recommendation that all non-urgent community-based physiotherapy appointments be cancelled, we have made the difficult decision to TEMPORARILY CLOSE OUR BUSINESS for the time being. All currently booked appointments have been cancelled at this time, and all current clients will be contacted to book in again when it is safe and r...ecommended to do so. Any current clients with questions regarding their physiotherapy care can contact us directly via email ([email protected]) or phone (780-747-1307). For all COVID-19 related questions, we direct our clients to call HealthLink at 811, or visit the Government of Alberta website: https://www.alberta.ca/coronavirus-info-for-albertans.aspx

We would like to wish all of our wonderful clients a happy holiday season, we hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

We are now closed for the holidays. We will re-open with normal business hours as of January 6th, 2020. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season!

"Understanding pain is paramount to helping relieve suffering from any persistent (chronic) pain. Do you understand how and why pain is produced, or do you find yourself getting mad at your body for constantly producing discomfort, and are convinced it is there to ruin your day? Have you been lead to believe that your pain is all in your head? Well, I’m here to tell you that all pain is real 100% of the time. So, no, you are not imagining it! But it is the brain that de...termines whether to produce pain or not. So is it all in your head? I guess technically, but not in an imagined way."

"The pelvic floor is the muscle group that fills the hole at the bottom of the pelvis. It contains the genitals, and acts as a hammock that holds up organs such as the bladder, uterus and rectum. It's a part of the body many people don't think about, or maybe even know exists, until it starts not doing its job." https://www.cbc.ca//it-s-time-to-break-the-taboo-around-pe
