Additional Services
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle massage technique which stimulates the lymphatic system to help the movement of the fluid that has collected (eg. in the arm /leg). The technique may be combined with compression bandages ,compression garments, exercise, learning self massage or learning self care. This is a one-on-one treatment for an hour with a physiotherapist who is certified to treat lymphedema.
Treatment of lymphedema does not cure the condition, but it can make the situation considerably better and improve the quality of life of the individual. If you or someone you know has questions please call us, we are happy to help.
A.D.P
We have Physiotherapists who are ADP certified for compression garments. ADP (Assistive Devices Program) is a government-funded program where the government covers 75% of the cost of the compression garments.
Custom Orthotics
Orthotics are custom-made inserts for your shoes. A biomechanical foot assessment is performed by a registered physiotherapist to determine the most appropriate way to support your feet. This assessment also includes the history of your condition/injury, relevant medical history, demands on your feet and your goals regarding activity.
Orthotics may help with foot pain. They can also be used as a preventative measure for daily activity, sport and work demands on your feet. Orthotics may also help with ankle, knee, hip and back conditions.
Orthotics are often transferable from shoe to shoe.
