What We Do...

Work Related Documentation
Modalities
Therapeutic modalities have been a part of physiotherapy-used modalities for decades. Here are modalities our PT can provide:
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is the delivery of sound waves into the tissues which can produce a variety of effects including thermal, mechanical, chemical and biological. The dosage delivered will depend on the tissue being treated, the acuity of the injury, its depth, and the affect. Ultrasound is used to provide deep heating to soft tissues in the body including muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. Deep heating of these soft tissues increases circulation, assist the healing process and decrease pain.
Wax Bath
The wax bath is a form of thermotherapy, which allows a sustained heat to be applied. The wax bath is used for hands where a patient repeatedly submerges their hand within a small tub of melted paraffin wax. The wax is warm, and should not cause any discomfort. The wax will encapsulate the entire hand and solidify. When this occurs, it traps the heat in the joints of the hand which can help decrease pain, increase your mobility, and increase the blood flow to the targeted area.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave is an intense, but very short, energy wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. It can assist return to function while providing relief of many chronic conditions.
There are some possible side effects of Shockwave Therapy such as pain, bruising etc.

How We Help
RBS's are consistent, steady rehabilitation support in the youth’s daily life in all environments (home, school, community). 
The RBS is available to the youth wherever the youth requires support and is able to complete transitions from one environment to another seamlessly (e.g. home to school).
RBS's are also able to support the family/care providers by modeling strategies for success. They integrate all of the RHCP’s goals into functional activities allowing for better carryover and generalization within the youth’s life. This allows for greater success with activities of daily living, leisure and school/work, decreasing the impact of impairments, promoting independence and improving general well-being.

How We Help
RBS's are consistent, steady rehabilitation support in the youth’s daily life in all environments (home, school, community). 
The RBS is available to the youth wherever the youth requires support and is able to complete transitions from one environment to another seamlessly (e.g. home to school).
RBS's are also able to support the family/care providers by modeling strategies for success. They integrate all of the RHCP’s goals into functional activities allowing for better carryover and generalization within the youth’s life. This allows for greater success with activities of daily living, leisure and school/work, decreasing the impact of impairments, promoting independence and improving general well-being.
