Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
We are pleased to offer RMT in all 3 locations.
There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a registered massage therapist. Whether your need is to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall emotional and physical well-being.
Massage therapy can be an important part of your health maintenance plan by:
Reducing or eliminating pain
Improving joint mobility
Improving circulation
Improving lymphatic drainage
Reducing muscular tension
Massage therapy can be used for the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions. RMTs can work with a wide variety of patients, of all ages, in the treatment of illness, injury rehabilitation and disability.
Massage therapists today use their knowledge of physiology and anatomy to combine traditional Swedish and modern massage therapy techniques with other therapies to treat their clients. There has been a wide variety of research, published in peer reviewed journals, proving the benefits of massage therapy for various conditions.
Acupuncture and Dry Needling
Acupuncture is the stimulation, by insertion of needles, of specific points on the body which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions. Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones. Acupuncture affects the functioning of the hormonal system, promotes a decrease in inflammation, increased circulation and relief from pain.
Our Registered Physiotherapists have successfully taken additional training in acupuncture and are rostered to perform Acupuncture with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario.
Custom Knee Bracing - Knee or Hip Surgery Delayed? We Have a Solution.
Physiotherapy III is proud to offer custom knee bracing solutions from Ossur and DonJoy. Custom braces are constructed to help with ligament injuries or osteoarthritis. These braces are created using detailed leg measurements and a computer scanning system. Most extended health plans will cover some or all of the cost of the custom brace. However, we recommend speaking with your insurance company. If required, we can give you a written estimate to submit to your insurance company for prior approval.
Braces: ankle, knee, back, thumb, wrist and elbow + sacroiliac belts – measured and fit on-site
Custom braces: ACL, PCL, MCL, and unloader for OA
Custom splints: wrist, hand, foot and ankle
Knee braces: CTi, DonJoy and Omni - measured on-site and fit on return by an experienced physiotherapist.

Orthotics
Our feet disperse a large amount of force while we move about our daily lives. Structural abnormalities can significantly limit our ability to participate in activities. At Physiotherapy III, we are pleased to offer custom orthotic solutions by working in conjunction with Farrow Orthotics. First we complete a thorough foot, knee, hip and gait assessment to determine if orthotics are appropriate for you; if appropriate, we make a 3D impression of both feet. The impression is created and a custom orthotic is manufactured.
Custom orthotics can be beneficial to you if you are experiencing one or more of the following conditions:
Excessive foot pronation
Adult-acquired flat feet
Foot pain and fatigue
Plantar fasciitis
Knee pain
Back pain
Leg length discrepancy
Diabetic foot neuropathy
Arthritis
Metatarsalgia
Morton’s neuroma
Most extended health plans will cover some or all of the cost of your custom orthotics; however, it is important to inquire with your insurer. In addition, your insurance company may require a referral from a physician.
Work Station Ergonomic Evaluation
Our certified ergonomist/registered kinesiologist is trained to assess your work station and its fit with you to provide optimal comfort. Proper ergonomics is proven to reduce repetitive injuries, allow return to work more easily after an injury, and to increase workplace comfort and productivity. A comprehensive analysis of the current work station and worker, including pictures and measurements, is conducted and recommendations are made with ergonomic principles in mind. These recommendations may include work station repositioning, work station redesign, and equipment changes or additions. A formal report is developed if needed.
Persistent Pain Education Program
We offer physiotherapy education using a small-group format that will provide insight and teach you strategies to deal with your persistent/chronic pain. Our education program is based on the most current evidence-based information.
Temporomandibular(TMJ) Joint Rehabilitation
We are certified in TMJ therapy to treat symptoms of jaw pain, headaches and tinnitus. Often the jaw and its muscle groups are a source of face, temple or headache pain. We will perform a thorough analysis of the jaw and neck to help you reduce pain and jaw clicking.
Pickleball Injury Treatment
Physiotherapy III Ltd specializes in addressing pickleball-related injuries, and a surge in such cases has been noticed due to the sport's popularity. Our focus lies in rehabilitating individuals to return to pickleball swiftly. With many participants in the sport, we tailor treatment programs to cater to this specific need. The objective revolves around aiding patients in resuming their pickleball activities safely and effectively.
​
​By understanding the demands of the sport and the common injuries associated with it, we devise comprehensive treatment plans. We aim to facilitate a speedy recovery through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and injury-specific interventions, ensuring individuals can return to the court with confidence and minimal risk of re-injury.
