The clinic

The clinic is equipped with four private treatment rooms and a large open-concept gym with a wide variety of exercise equipment including treadmills, upright and recumbant bikes, leg press machines, cable/pulley machines, free weights, and resistance bands. You can purchase the same resistance bands in our gym for home use so that you can ensure you are following the recommended exercise and intensity prescribed.

The gym also houses an adjustable shelving unit and wheeled cart in our lifting station to customize work simulation tasks and complete functional testing. This ensures we are matching your actual abilities to any work or activity demands you aspire meeting.
