Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is the science of treating disease or injury using physical methods like massage, joint manipulation, and heat therapy. The goal is to restore function and movement, as well as to promote wellness. Physiotherapy uses an individual-centred approach to help patients reach their health and fitness goals.
Physiotherapists may specialise in one of several areas. Pediatric physiotherapists treat children with developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, retarded growth, and skeletal disorders. Neurological physiotherapists work with people who have suffered brain or spinal cord injuries, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapists focus on healing the muscles, ligaments, bones, and joints. They also use specialised programs to help patients manage pain and improve strength, balance, and coordination. They can also perform hydrotherapy, manual manipulation, and hot and cold application techniques to help relieve pain. They can also help patients learn to cope with chronic diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
Pilates
Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise that combines mental and physical conditioning. It focuses on core stability (the area bounded by the abdomen, pelvis, and diaphragm) which is crucial for good posture and movement.
Physiotherapy-led Pilates is very effective in treating or preventing several injuries and ailments. It is also beneficial for pregnant women as it strengthens the pelvic floor and core muscles to help with the physiological changes of pregnancy, such as ligament laxity, postural instability, and increased body weight.
After a career in design and branding, physio Beverley came to teach Pilates a bit later in life. She finds it incredibly enjoyable and rewarding, particularly seeing the transformation of her clients as their strength and control improves. However, she believes anything worth doing takes time, persistence, and discipline to achieve results.
Acupuncture
During this age-old treatment, thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body. It is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been shown to help relieve pain and many other conditions.
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, which sends messages to change how the brain and spinal cord process pain. It may also trigger the release of pain-relieving hormones, such as beta-endorphins. It can also influence other chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, that affect mood.
Several studies have found that acupuncture is effective in helping manage specific chronic pain problems, including low back pain and neck pain. It can also treat other health conditions like headaches and menstrual cramps. It is safe for most people, but you shouldn’t get it if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood thinners. It can cause soreness or minor bleeding at the site of the needles. You should also tell your acupuncturist if you are pregnant.
Massage
Beverley offers her clients deep and practical massage using a range of techniques. She is passionate about learning and researching new methods to aid her client’s recovery. When not in the clinic, you’ll find her at Crossfit Nanaimo, chasing her two boys or reading a book.
She incorporates Swedish, Myofascial release & Trigger point therapy and health and wellness education to meet the goals for treatment. She works with various conditions, including chronic pain, Motor Vehicle Accident injuries, pregnancy-related issues, TMJ dysfunction, etc. Her treatments often include postural assessment and orthopaedic/special tests to help identify underlying problems. Her massage is a hands-on approach that aims to relieve musculoskeletal symptoms as quickly and effectively as possible. Ongoing maintenance treatments are also popular and effective in helping manage long-standing musculoskeletal conditions.
