Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a health care field that treats and prevents disorders in human movement caused by injury and disease. It helps the individuals who have problems affecting the musculo-skeletal system to find a functional level. Our physiotherapists use various techniques to treat you such as manual therapy, sport therapy and progress by exercises, the McKenzie approach, electrotherapy, an evaluation followed by a Cybex/Biodex isokinetic session, hydrotherapy (whirlpool bath), Muscle Activation Technique, etc. Our patients can expect to improve their balance, stamina, force and coordination, which will help them to remain active in their daily life.
Perineal re-education
Perineal re-education is one of the numerous fields of practice in physiotherapy. When faced with a dysfunction of the uro-genital system, it aims at improving pelvic floor strength, bladder control, diminishing chronic pain, etc. The muscles of the pelvic floor have various functions such as supporting the abdominal organs, controlling urinary and anal sphincters and enhancing sexual pleasure. The majority of these muscles are skeletal; this means that you have the capability of controlling them voluntarily and that they can be trained, just like the muscles of the arms and legs. It is also possible to regain control over your bladder by changing some habits and initiating a specific training program.
KneeKG by EMOVI
Knee Kinesiography with the KneeKG is meant to go beyond symptom management! Knee Kinesiography is a medical exam of the knee performed while the knee is moving while the patient is walking on a treadmill.
The system is attached to the knee in order to evaluate joint function. In the same way the EKG is performing for the heart, this exam allows to know the state of the knee joint by capturing the movement.
This helps to understand the deficits related to pain. The exam allows to identify and treat the causes of the pain with the right information: Knee pain generally appears with the movement of the joint and is related to biomechanical dysfunctions.
Shockwave
Radial shockwave are high-energy acoustic waves. They are transmitted through the surface of the skin and spread radially (spherically) into the body. The body responds with increased metabolic activity around the site of the pain. This stimulates and accelerates the healing process.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a discipline based on the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the human body. The patient is treated with a global approach, so rather than simply treating the symptom the body is treated as a whole entity. Patients of all ages can benefit from osteopathy.
The osteopath, with the use of different techniques, will treat the body on many different levels such as articular, visceral, cranial and fascial. This approach differentiates itself from others because it is aimed at discovering the cause of the problem rather than simply focusing on the symptoms. The key is to keep the different structures of the human body mobile. A loss in mobility causes functional as well as circulatory and/or nervous limitations. This loss in mobility can cause repercussions locally and possibly distally by forcing the body to compensate in other areas in order to maintain its equilibrium.
The osteopath's job, therefore, is to make sure that the different elements of the body remain mobile in order to allow the body to function properly and remain healthy.
Acupuncture
Compared with traditional medicine, acupuncture considers the body as a whole system. This means that not only the symptoms of the disease will be studied but all the rest of the body. Acupuncture is a very secure alternative medicine. It causes no side effect and does not present danger. It can also be practiced together with another medicine.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is a type of therapy treated through activity. This service is offered to people for whom daily functions and activities are disrupted by an orthopedic injury or a physical disorder. Occupational therapists evaluates the physical limitations of the injury or disorder, as well as the psycho-social and environmental factors that may play in to the patients daily functioning. Their main objective is to help the patient reach a healthy, a satisfying and an independent lifestyle in their daily activities, as well as at work.
Massotherapy
More than a period of relaxation, the massage therapy helps diminish physical problems caused by stress, back pain, loss of energy, insomnia, etc.
Massotherapy - Shiatsu, therapeutic yoga and thai yoga
The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub skin and muscles to open the body's defensive points and get the energy moving smoothly in the muscles so as to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions.
The purpose is to bring the body into balance and increse overall well-being and quality of life.
