Physiotherapy
Our Physiotherapists use individualized assessments to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to help you recover from an injury or condition. It can also be used as a tool to help prevent injuries in the first place. They use manual therapy, massage, modalities such as ultrasound and muscle stimulation, acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, and exercise prescription to help you in your recovery.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that uses thin needles to stimulate specific points on your skin. This method helps with pain control, swelling, improving circulation, and even promotes healing. Other benefits can include; decreasing stress and anxiety, decreasing nausea, and improving sleep. Acupuncture can be used to treat acute or chronic injuries ranging from strains and sprains to osteoarthritis to headaches.
Integrated dry needling uses thin needles to stimulate trigger points in a muscle. This stimulation helps to increase circulation and ultimately release painful trigger points in the muscle. The result is decreased muscle tension and reduced pain. It can be very effective for treating stubborn muscle tightness.
Orthotics are custom made inserts that fit into your shoes to help support your feet. They are often prescribed for foot and ankle abnormalities but have been found to be helpful for supporting knee, hip and back health. They can help with many conditions like chronic plantar fasciitis, “flat feet”, high arches, heel spurs, hammer toes, and the diabetic foot. At Testify Performance our orthotics are custom made to fit your feet by using plaster of paris molds. As always, a consultation is best to determine if orthotics are right for you.

Our Physiotherapists and Athletic Therapists use tape almost daily at Testify. There are many different types of tape ranging from very sturdy and stable to stretchy and elastic types of tape. Tape can be used for many reasons but usually we use it to provide stability to specific joints or to support muscles. It can be used to improve circulation and help with swelling, reduce pain, re-educate muscles, and possibly even enhance performance.
