Where We Work
Clinic Visits
Clinic visits offer a fun and exciting experience where we are able to incorporate a variety of unique therapeutic interventions including spider cage therapy, trampoline therapy, whole body vibration, vestibular therapy (swings), treadmill gait training and many more...
Home Visits
For some children, and their families, a familiar environment is more regulating. We recognize that clinic visits are not practical for every family, and, as we work to make therapy accessible to all, at home therapy can be a more convenient option. In addition, therapeutic treatment done in the home often results in higher carry-over of home programs.
Aquatic Therapy
We offer Aquatic therapy in various public, and private pools, in the community. Aquatic therapy addresses physical therapy goals in an environment where buoyancy, water resistance, hydrostatic pressure, and the warmth of the water contribute to more favourable outcomes.
Community Visits
Where it is beneficial to the child, family, or team, we offer visits at daycares, private schools, behavioural intervention centres and at community parks or play grounds.
