During your consultation, you can expect a thorough review of your injury or illness and an appropriate physical assessment. Then, your doctor will use this information to provide a diagnosis and come up with an action plan for your rehabilitation. They may coordinate appropriate treatments with therapists, or if needed, order further investigations.

The benefit of seeing a SEM physician is that they can provide medical expertise to help with injury diagnosis, management and prevention. They work as a “quarterback” to help coordinate care and get you back to your active lifestyle safely.

Our registered physiotherapists have specialized knowledge and skill sets to treat symptoms of injury and illness while improving your mobility. Having in-depth training on how the body works and is meant to move, they use distinct techniques, such as manual therapy, acupuncture and the prescription of unique exercises, to optimize your ability to heal.

Physiotherapy aims to restore and enhance your movement, strength, flexibility, and overall health. It can also help prevent new injuries or the exacerbation of previous issues.

Thanks to the advancement of research and subsequent understanding of human movement, injury management and pain science, chiropractic therapy has evolved from an adjustment-focused treatment to a much more comprehensive therapeutic approach.

As modern chiropractors, we’ve received extensive training on a variety of therapeutic options to help you overcome your own individual barriers to optimal health and well-being. Whether your goal is pain management, injury rehabilitation, enhanced athletic performance, or improved health and well-being, we provide the appropriate intervention that’s specific to your needs and matches your expectations.

Treatments can be targeted to the muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints to optimize health and performance. The therapeutic effects of massage therapy can improve physical function by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems of the body. Psychologically, the effects of massage can assist in relieving stress and enhancing feelings of well-being.

Before a treatment, your therapist will provide an initial assessment, taking into consideration your specific health history and concerns. Working with you, your therapist will propose a personalized treatment plan and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the session. Your massage therapist must obtain consent prior to your session before any treatment can occur.

Virtual care is offered by our Physiotherapy, Chiropractic and Sport & Exercise Medicine Physician team members.

If you require more comprehensive care, you can meet one-on-one with our bracing consultant who can educate you on the different products, as well as select and measure for a brace that fits your needs. Our bracing consultant specializes in fitting and servicing both custom and off-the-shelf braces. They can provide assistance in determining insurance coverage and clarifying costs prior to making any commitments.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Shockwave therapy is administered by a trained clinician at STRIVE. During treatment, the clinician holds a shockwave device next to the skin. The device sends air pressure waves into the injured tissues, encouraging the damaged tissue to regenerate.
