Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for babies, children, and adults, provided at our home-based clinic in Ajax. Therapy focuses on alignment, breathing, core strength, and nervous system regulation, with 55-minute sessions that allow time for thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, and education. Sessions combine evidence-based physiotherapy with a broader understanding of the body’s interconnected systems, supporting physical function and overall balance. Please inquire to determine whether care at our Ajax home-based clinic is the right fit for you or your child.
Aquatic Therapy
Physiotherapy completed in the water at your home or at a community pool. Aquatic therapy supports movement, strength, and balance in a supportive water-based environment, helping to reduce load on the body while enhancing mobility, coordination, and confidence. Sessions are individualized and can support both rehabilitation and overall functional capacity. Sessions may take place in your private backyard pool or a community pool, depending on suitability and availability. Please inquire about aquatic therapy options and locations.
Let’s meet in the forest and have fun while building strength, balance, coordination, and confidence! Sessions combine purposeful therapy with fresh air, natural terrain, and opportunities for play, helping movement feel meaningful and enjoyable. Please inquire for availability and meeting locations.
