Our philosophy

Lifemark Physiotherapy Cobequid is a busy multidisciplinary physiotherapy clinic with three full-time physiotherapists, an occupational therapist, a full time kinesiologist, two massage therapists, (each working half-time), one full time physiotherapy aide and full complement of administrative support staff. We also have a psychologist join us for one half day per week.

We are located in the friendly village of Bible Hill, NS., just adjacent to the Town of Truro. We share a building with another business at 191 Pictou Road.

At Lifemark Cobequid Physiotherapy we treat a wide variety of orthopedic conditions including work related, sports and motor vehicle accident injuries.

Our clinic has been a strong presence in the local community for many years, supporting community events and working closely with local businesses and employers in assisting workers to return to work.

We have been pleased to see a good amount of return business over the years because of the excellent reputation that the clinic has been able to develop. We look forward to serving Truro and surrounding area for years to come.

The clinic

We have 10 treatment beds for physiotherapy, a mechanical traction table and a separate massage therapy room. Our staff utilizes numerous treatment modalities including: acupuncture, ultrasound-IFC and laser as well as several portable TENS and electrical stimulation modalities.

We utilize an active treatment approach, so exercise and activity comprise a large component of most programs. We have a whirlpool and a wax immersion bath for hands and fingers. We also have a spacious gym area where our kinesiologist runs exercise and functional programs.

We have several exercise machines and functional type equipment to simulate work and recreational activities.

More about our services

In addition to our physiotherapy and massage therapy services, we see a number of post-surgical and work conditioning clients as well. Our occupational therapist provides Functional Abilities Evaluations, as well doing job site evaluations, work place visits and job coaching.

We offer functional restoration and work conditioning programs that require a multi-disciplinary approach.

Our clinicians are dedicated to returning their clients to pre-injury status and employ a strong active approach in their treatment protocols.

We offer rehab case management services to injured or ill clients.

Common conditions we treat

Arthritis Arthritis is the classifcation of approximately 200 rheumatic diseases and conditions that affect joints, the tissues that surround the joint, and other connective tissue, causing pain, stiffness and mobility challenges. Assessment and treatment from a physiotherapist and chiropractor may help relieve the pain and stiffness.	Carpal tunnel syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist and can result in numbness, tingling and pain in the affected hand and arm. It is often the result of repetitive use and strain. Physiotherapy can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Frozen shoulder Frozen shoulder is a progressive condition that often starts with pain in the shoulder joint during basic movement. If the condition is left untreated, pain increases and mobility decreases. Physiotherapists can assess and develop a treatment plan.	Hand & wrist pain Hand, fingers and wrist pain can include symptoms such as tingling, numbness and weakness. The most frequent causes are carpal tunnel syndrome, injury or overuse. An assessment and treatment protocol by a physiotherapist can help.
Headaches Headaches can be caused by a variety of conditions and once assessed by a healthcare professional can be helped with physiotherapy treatment.	Herniated disc A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (disks) between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine. Chiropractic services can help with the associated pain and discomfort.
Knee pain Knee pain can be caused by bursitis, a torn tendon, ACL tear or injury and overuse. It is most frequently the result of osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy can help speed recovery.	Low back pain Low back pain is one of the most common patient complaints. It can result from arthritis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, sciatica, injury or overuse. An assessment from a physiotherapist or chiropractor can help provide a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Muscle sprains and strain Muscles sprains and strains can result from sport or motor vehicle injuries, overuse or common activity. They can range to mild, moderate to severe requiring more intensive intervention. Physiotherapy and massage therapy can help speed recovery.	Neck pain Neck pain can result from poor posture, injury like whiplash, infection in the lymph nodes or throat, or a herniated disc. Physiotherapy, massage therapy or chiropractic treatment can help improve mobility and pain.
Plantar fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain, usually occurring with the first steps in the morning. With activity, pain typically subsides, but can return after running or standing up after sitting for a length of time. It most commonly affects people who stand for long periods on hard surfaces, runners, and other high-impact athletes. Treatment from one of our foot care specialists may help to reduce the symptoms and pain.	Post-surgery Complications following surgery can include pain, limited mobility, numbness and emotional issues. An assessment from a qualified physiotherapy along with a detailed treatment plan can help to alleviate post-surgery challenges.
Posture issues Posture issues, or an excessively curved spine can result from hip, foot or neck/back joint issues, often from sitting improperly at work, standing for long periods, or common foot problems like fallen arches. Chiropractic services, or an assessment from an orthotist/pedorthist may help.	Rotator cuff injuries The rotator cuff consists of four muscles that surround the shoulder blade (scapula), and help to hold the arm bone (humerus) in the shoulder capsule. It is easily injured by sport, repetitive use and common daily activity. Physiotherapists can help diagnose and treat symptoms.
Scoliosis Scoliosis is when an individual's spine has a curve to the side, usually described as 'S' or 'C' shaped. Scoliosis can cause pain, digestive issues and mobility challenges. Chiropractic services can help mitigate the symptoms associated with scoliosis.	TMJ Temporomandibular joint dysfunction or TMJ refers to pain and dysfunction of jaw muscles and the joints that connect the jaw bone to the skull. It is characterized by pain, difficulty chewing and noises (popping/cracking) when the jaw moves. Physiotherapy or massage therapy may help alleviate some of the symptoms of pain and discomfort.

A clinician can assess or treat you, evaluate your range of motion, recommend exercises, give you advice on pain and pain management and much more.

Services from our specialty programs, such as pelvic health or concussion care, are also available through Virtual Care.

Secure, convenient online services

Virtual Care uses video conference technology to provide services at a distance that are private, secure and easy to use while giving you more flexibility by reducing travel time.

By removing accessibility and mobility barriers, Virtual Care ensures you can receive the care you need. Your privacy is protected through robust policies and safeguards and our clinicians are required to meet the same regulatory and legislative requirements and adhere to their respective Standards of Practice and Code of Conduct as they do for in-person services.
