NEW PRICE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2026 FOR ALLISTON LOCATION
At Back to Health Osteopathy and Wellness, we know and understand that the physical limitations and pain coming from our bodies can affect far more than just mobility. These can impact your mood, daily activities, work, even your relationships. Essentially, they touch all aspects of one's life.
That's why our comprehensive physiotherapy services offer a way to address the root causes of your discomfort. Over the course of your physiotherapy sessions, we help restore the body's natural functions while empowering you to use the tools and knowledge we can provide to maintain lasting results and wellness.
Typical good candidates for physiotherapy include those:
Our approach combines clinical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered care to help you achieve your health goals. Back to Health is a family-owned and operated clinic with locations in Maple (Vaughan) and Alliston, offering personalized treatments tailored to your unique healthcare needs.
Physiotherapy is a cornerstone treatment for taking care of the body with non-invasive treatments. It helps in the recovery of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. For our general physiotherapy services, we offer support for:
We can treat everything from sprains, strains, to complex joint injuries through targeted physiotherapy treatment for acute or chronic orthopedic concerns. Our approach combines manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and movement retraining for long-term recovery and recurrence protection.
One of the most common times one needs physiotherapy is after a major surgery to aid in rehabilitation and recovery. Our post-operative rehabilitation treatments are designed to restore strength, mobility, and function to the affected areas. Most commonly, these are for joint replacements, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repairs, and spinal surgeries. We work closely with your doctors for an optimal recovery procedure.
One area managed well by physiotherapy is chronic pain. While we still don't always know why chronic pain occurs, pain science has made many strides, and there have been many techniques discovered to help with pain management. These techniques can help to reduce symptoms when implemented with practical strategies, graded exercise programs, and self-management techniques.
A traumatic brain injury can be seriously damaging to one's long-term health, but some level of management and recovery can be done from the start to help decrease this damage and heal some functions. Our advanced training in concussion management allows a patient to address symptoms like headaches, dizziness, balance impairment, and cognitive difficulties.
Another common symptom is poor movement patterns, developed over years or from a surgery or traumatic event. These can lead to decreased performance and increased risk of injuries. Through movement analysis, we can help to identify patterns and slowly correct them for long-term recovery.
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects millions of people, and yet is a highly unaddressed issue. This might be due to embarrassment or the misconception that it is simply part of aging. However, much can be done to help conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction through physiotherapy.
We know how sensitive of an area of concern this is, and have worked to make our treatments as private and considerate as possible. All pelvic floor sessions are conducted in private treatment rooms, and we prioritize patient comfort and informed consent at every stage.
The pelvic floor consists of the whole complex network of muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues around the base of the pelvis. These structures form the main mechanisms by which you have:
When these muscles dysfunction, whether by weakening or getting too tight, a range of symptoms can develop that can form major impediments to everyday life.
Urinary Dysfunction: Stress incontinence, urge incontinence, mixed incontinence, urinary frequency, and incomplete bladder emptying all tend to respond well to treatment. Our specific methods include targeted muscle training, lifestyle modifications, and advice on behavioral strategies.
Bowel Dysfunction: Typical bowel dysfunction includes incontinence, chronic constipation, or difficulty evacuating, each of which are often linked to pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions. To find out whether this is the case, we can assess the situation to identify the problem and decide from there the most effective treatment strategies.
Pelvic Pain Syndromes: Chronic pain in the pelvis, vulvodynia, vaginismus, painful intercourse, pudendal neuralgia, are each types of pelvic pain that can be helped by specialized physiotherapy sessions. Our methods allow us to address muscle tension, trigger points, nerve sensitivity, and other contributing factors through specific manual therapy and relaxation techniques.
Prenatal and Postpartum Care: Before and after childbirth, the pelvic floor undergoes extraordinary change and stress. We have extensive experience with these situations and a thorough understanding of how the body prepares for labor and delivery. We offer rehabilitation for diastasis recti, perineal healing, scar tissue management, and restoration of pelvic floor functioning.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Some individuals can experience a prolapse of the rectum, bladder, or uterus. This can cause significant discomfort and functional limitations, but can usually be helped by pelvic floor physiotherapy techniques that strengthen supporting structures, reduce symptoms, and help prevent further progression.
We always begin with a comprehensive assessment, including detailed health history, in order to specifically design your personalized treatment. When appropriate, we will also do an examination to evaluate muscle functions, tone, and coordination. We understand that for pelvic floor treatment, this can be very sensitive and therefore we prioritize comfort and informed consent throughout the process.
Once evaluated, treatment may include:
Manual Therapy: Internal and external massage-like techniques to release tight muscles, mobilize scar tissue, and restore normal tissue mobility.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: Specialized and individually-tailored exercise programs that target the strength, endurance, coordination, and relaxation of the pelvic region based on specific needs.
Biofeedback: The use of biofeedback technology to help improve awareness and voluntary control of the pelvic floor muscles. Safe and non-invasive.
Behavioral Strategies: Bladder retraining, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your condition.
Patient Education: Understanding your anatomy and condition to help you actively participate in your own recovery and maintain long-term results.
We have a holistic practice when it comes to all our treatments. This means treating the whole person, rather than only isolated symptoms. That's why we've been expanding our clinical toolkit, from yoga and fitness programs, to our Registered Dietitian advice, to psychotherapy, all in an attempt to provide more comprehensive coverage.
Every treatment plan we create with you is individualized to your specific goals and needs, covering all kinds of different life situations.Whether dealing with a recent injury or surgery, a long-term chronic condition, or experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, our team is here to support you.
