Physiotherapy

Manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment primarily used by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. This form of treatment mainly involves soft tissue release techniques and joint mobilization.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Intramuscular Stimulation treats chronic pain syndromes as well as neuropathic pain by releasing tight muscles thus improving correct biomechanics and improving nerve transmission.

Vestibular Therapy

Experiencing imbalance, motion sensitivity, light-headedness, or spinning? You may benefit from vestibular therapy. The physical assessment includes a combination of tests focusing on neck mobility, balance, gait, visual tracking and positional testing.

Acupuncture

This ancient Chinese therapy is used to improve the body's overall function by encouraging natural healing of the tissues, reducing pain and inflammation, and restoring physiological balance. Acupuncture can effectively treat many medical conditions.

Shockwave Therapy

Have a chronic case of tendonitis, or heel pain that just won’t go away? Tried all the contemporary treatment options (ice, stretches, anti-inflammatories) to no avail? These are just a couple of the many conditions shockwave therapy can help to resolve.

 
TESTIMONIALS

“I call Roseanna Chamberlin “the miracle worker”, as she was able to help me when no one else could.  Although the shockwave therapy she used to heal my Achilles was very painful, it actually worked, and I can hike again! 

Thank you so much!”

“Rosie is phenomenal. I had a bad case of lower back pain which was misdiagnosed and treated unsuccessfully until I met Rosie. Being a diagnostics genius she is, she quickly identified the issue and set me up for a path to recovery. She’s a health care professional who truly cares, and she changed my life for the better”

- Lena V.

“I have known Rosie Chamberlain for over 5 years and have found her to be an excellent physiotherapist. She is very passionate about her work and frequently completes courses in order to build on her skills. I would highly recommend her for any musculoskeletal issues (assessments, manual therapy, IMS and exercise prescription), Vestibular (balance/vertigo) or Women’s Health symptoms.”

“ I’ve been a patient of Rosie’s for over a year now. I think she’s amazing. Not only is she professional, caring and super knowledgable, but she listens to your concerns and works with you to become your best functioning self. I’m super grateful to her for getting me back up and running post injury. I can’t recommend her enough.”

- Krista P

“Rosie is a very knowledgeable and well-rounded physio. I have had both manual and IMS treatments and have found both very effective. Rosie is extremely skillful and intuitive with her needles, always getting at the issue with the least amount of discomfort, which I appreciate quite a lot. I highly recommend Rosie as a physiotherapist. She is truly an excellent healer.”

- Vicky P

"Rosie has helped me tremendously with my reoccurring back pain. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable, she is also compassionate and non-judgemental...everything you want in a healthcare provider practitioner. Rosie loves her job - and it shows! I never hesitate to recommend her to family or friends."

- Christine A.

"Regular physiotherapy treatments provided short-term relief but the symptoms returned time after time. One IMS treatment over a year ago and the symptoms are gone, disappeared."

- Forrest S.

“Rosanna Chamberlin is professional, friendly and caring. She is thorough and knowledgeable seeing your injury or issue to the end. Rosanna has worked on both adults and kids in our family and she makes everyone feel comfortable with their rehab. I highly recommend Rosanna Chamberlin.”
