Physiotherapy Services

At UpLevel Physio, we are constantly seeking the newest and most effective methodologies to reinvigorate our patients. We are excited to integrate a new program specifically for those afflicted with osteoarthritis in hips and/or knees.

Introducing GLA:D™ at UpLevel Physio

The GLA:D™ program is an education and exercise program that has helped thousands of people afflicted with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (OA) manage their symptoms of pain and loss of function.

For your body to perform the physical activities that you love, you need to ensure an optimum level of both form and function. Biomechanical Assessments with UpLevel Physiotherapists help you to maximize and sustain your physical potential.

At UpLevel Physiotherapy, we believe knowledge is power through education. We want you to understand how your body functions in its most optimal state, how your injury occurred and continues to persist, how your postural habits and repetitive actions might be hindering your healing, and how to prevent injuries from re-occurring or happening in the first place. We want to help alleviate your fear and anxiety, and help you to commit to a realistic timeframe and plan of self-directed action for your recovery.

Runners are a very specific type of athlete. You don’t just participate in the activity of running, you claim “Runner” as part of your identity. Running can take its toll on your body, and we at UpLevel Physiotherapy are passionate about helping you maintain your performance potential for the long road ahead.

Our Running Gait Analysis allows us to evaluate, enhance and optimize your movement. We look for patterns that might result in (or have already caused) injury and make recommendations to better your capacity for speed and endurance.

When you are experiencing pain characterized by a muscle or muscles that are contracted, one of the most effective treatments physiotherapists use is known as Intramuscular Stimulation or IMS.

As the name suggests, manual therapy is a ‘hands-on” technique physiotherapists use to help remediate your injury. We use specific techniques such as joint manipulation, stretching, and guiding you to move the muscle against resistance.

Although your first visit to us may be to fix what’s currently broken, we see it as our responsibility to educate you about avoiding future injury through injury prevention.

Before we begin treatment, we conduct a comprehensive 3-part injury assessment that allows us to understand how you live, how you move, and what is hindering you from optimizing your physical well-being.

We are currently using a platform called Telerehabilitation to stay connected and support our patients. This allows us to use video calls to provide follow-ups, education and exercise programs. If you have any questions, please email us at info@uplevelphysio.ca or marcia@uplevelphysio.ca and we will be happy to help guide your ongoing physiotherapy needs.
