Our clinicians use physical techniques and exercise to help people recover from injuries, reduce pain, and improve their overall physical function and mobility.

Orthopedic physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, and disorders. It deals with problems affecting the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other supporting structures. Physiotherapists assess the patient's physical abilities and limitations, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include various exercises, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and other techniques to improve strength, range of motion, balance, and coordination.

The goal of treatment is to help individuals regain their physical independence and improve their quality of life. Physiotherapy can also be used to prevent injuries and promote overall health and wellness.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy that involves the manipulation of soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, to help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation and wellness.

During a massage therapy session, our registered massage therapist uses various techniques, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, to manipulate the soft tissues and promote healing and relaxation. The therapist may also use other techniques such as stretching, joint mobilization, and hydrotherapy to enhance the massage therapy session.

Massage therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, muscle tension, headaches, sports injuries, and stress-related disorders. It can also be used as a preventative measure to promote overall health and wellness.

In addition to its physical benefits, massage therapy can also have psychological benefits, such as reducing anxiety and improving mood. Massage therapy can be performed on a massage table, chair, or mat, and can be customized to meet the needs and preferences of each individual client.

Michael Krzyszton

Michael received his degree in Physiotherapy from Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. Prior to pursuing a career in physiotherapy he earned a BSc in Physiology and Sports Science from the University of Glasgow, during which he completed advanced modules in sports injuries, sports performance, and performance nutrition.

Michael was first introduced to physiotherapy after an accident that resulted in a C2 spinal cord injury. He was initially paralyzing from the neck down and had to undergo extensive rehabilitation, including relearning to walk. Michael never had surgery and credits his remarkable recovery to physiotherapy. This is what later inspired him to pursue a career in the field. While his special interest is orthopedic injuries, the personal experience has certainly given him a deeper insight to rehabilitation from neurological injuries.

Prior to moving to Canada Michael spent 10 years living in the United Kingdom. There he was fortunate enough to be mentored by top level clinicians who frequently worked with British Olympic Teams and professional athletes. Under their guidance he had the opportunity to treat many professional athletes across numerous sports.  This is is where he developed a deeper understanding of performance physiotherapy. What he found most interesting is how these clinicians used the same treatment principles with Olympic athletes as they did with every day clients to yield superior results.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Michael is enjoying the change of scenery in Newfoundland. Prior to injury Michael was an avid ice hockey player and skier. After recovering he has found new ways to stay active in the form of lifting weights in the gym and road cycling. When not working with his patients or training himself, he can be found spending time with family and friends, enjoying time outdoors, and watching sporting events.
