Specialized Care Across Multiple Areas
At Center For Healthy Living, we offer specialized physiotherapy services in several key areas:
Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation: Our cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program is designed for patients recovering from heart and lung conditions. We offer customized exercise regimens and breathing techniques to improve cardiovascular endurance and lung function. Our therapists work closely with patients who have experienced heart attacks, undergone cardiac surgery, or are managing chronic conditions like COPD and asthma. We focus on gradually building stamina, enhancing oxygen efficiency, and educating patients on lifestyle modifications to support long-term heart and lung health.
Geriatric Care: Understanding the unique challenges faced by our older patients, our geriatric care program aims to maintain and improve mobility, balance, and overall quality of life. We address common issues such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and fall prevention. Our therapists employ gentle, low-impact exercises and manual techniques to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and enhance strength. We also provide education on home safety and assistive devices to promote independence and reduce the risk of injuries.
Neurological Rehabilitation: For patients dealing with neurological conditions or injuries, we offer specialized rehabilitation services. Our program caters to individuals recovering from strokes, living with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or managing the effects of traumatic brain injuries. We utilize advanced techniques to improve motor control, coordination, and cognitive function. Our therapists work on gait training, balance exercises, and functional task practice to help patients regain independence in daily activities.
Orthopaedic Treatment: Our orthopaedic physiotherapy services cover a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic pain, or healing from a sports injury, our team provides expert care. We offer manual therapy, targeted exercises, and modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore muscle strength. Our therapists work with conditions ranging from back pain and joint replacements to ligament tears and tendinitis, creating personalized treatment plans to get you back to your optimal function.
Pediatric Physiotherapy: We understand that children have unique physiotherapy needs, which is why we offer specialized pediatric services. Our pediatric program focuses on helping children with developmental delays, genetic disorders, and orthopedic conditions. We use play-based therapy techniques to make sessions engaging and fun while addressing motor skill development, coordination, and strength. Our therapists work closely with parents and caregivers, providing education and home exercise programs to support continuous progress.
Electro-acupuncture: Blending traditional acupuncture principles with modern technology, electro-acupuncture offers a powerful therapeutic option. In this technique, we attach small clips to the acupuncture needles once they are inserted and pass a gentle electric current between them. This creates a subtle, continuous stimulation of the acupuncture points, which can amplify the therapeutic effects. Electro-acupuncture is particularly beneficial for treating chronic pain conditions, neurological disorders, and muscle spasms. The intensity and frequency of the electrical stimulation can be precisely adjusted to suit each patient’s comfort level and treatment needs. Many patients find that electro-acupuncture provides faster and longer-lasting relief compared to traditional needle-only treatments. Our practitioners are highly trained in the safe and effective use of this advanced technique, ensuring optimal results while prioritizing patient comfort.
