Our treatment approach starts with personalized acute injury management, using techniques like manual therapy and modalities to reduce pain, inflammation, muscle guarding, tightness, and joint stiffness. As recovery progresses, we focus on muscle and core strengthening, functional training, and movement retraining to restore full mobility and confidence in daily activities or work. Throughout the process, we provide education and strategies to prevent future injuries, ensuring long-term health and well-being.

By combining evidence-based modalities with a compassionate, client-focused approach, we aim to deliver high-quality care in a welcoming and professional environment. We utilize an extensive array of effective techniques and technologies to ensure sustainable recovery, including:

Dry Needling (IMS)

  • Involves inserting thin needles into tight muscle bands or trigger points to alleviate tension, reduce pain, and enhance tissue healing.

Laser Therapy with BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser (HIL)

  • The BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser Therapy employs powerful, non-invasive laser technology to penetrate deep into tissues, accelerating cellular metabolism and promoting rapid tissue repair and healing. It effectively reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and enhances circulation, making it ideal for treating deep-seated musculoskeletal ailments, chronic conditions, and sports injuries. This advanced modality offers a fast and efficient treatment for pain management and recovery, ensuring patients experience ongoing improvements in mobility and quality of life.

Shockwave Therapy with BTL-6000 ELITE Radial Shockwave

  • The BTL-6000 ELITE Radial Shockwave is a cutting-edge therapy system renowned for its effectiveness in treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions. This device uses radial shockwaves to stimulate natural healing processes within the body by increasing blood flow, accelerating tissue regeneration, and breaking down fibrous tissue. It is particularly effective for chronic tendinopathies, calcifications, and other soft tissue disorders. Patients benefit from reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery times, making this an excellent option for those seeking non-invasive therapy to persistent pain issues.

Interferential Current (IFC)

  • Employs mid-frequency electrical signals to treat muscular spasms and strains, helping to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and restore normal muscle function.

Ultrasound

  • Utilizes sound waves for imaging that helps in diagnosing conditions, guiding treatments, and monitoring therapy progress.

Pelvic Floor Biofeedback

  • Uses sensors and visual feedback to improve control over pelvic muscles, aiding in the treatment of incontinence and pelvic pain.

Vestibular Infrared Goggles

  • Equipped with infrared cameras to analyze eye movements, enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of inner ear disorders and vertigo.

Spinal Decompression (Traction) Machine

  • Mechanically stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and vertebrae, alleviating back pain and promoting disc healing.

State-of-the-Art Gym Equipment

  • Supports physical rehabilitation by improving strength, endurance, and aiding injury recovery through a comprehensive range of cardiorespiratory and functional strengthening exercises.

Pilates

  • A low-impact exercise that emphasizes postural alignment, core strength, and muscle balance, enhancing flexibility and overall muscle strength.

Massage Gun (Thumper Massager Maxi Pro)

  • Delivers deep tissue massage via percussive therapy to reduce muscle soreness, increase blood flow, and aid muscle recovery.

Manual Therapy Techniques

  • Includes various approaches such as Mulligan’s Mobilization with Movements, The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy®, Active Release Technique (ART), Rapid NeuroFascial Reset, Soft Tissue Release (STR), and Spinal and Peripheral Joints Manipulation, each designed to improve myofascial system and joint function, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility through specific hands-on techniques and active movements.
These integrated therapies and modalities at MotionHeal are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery and wellness.

testimonials

Maddie and Arash have been incredible in my healing journey. I’ve sought them out for Achilles surgery recovery, concussion treatment, and continual wear and tear from sports. Their expertise in dry needling, laser therapy, active release, and strength programs have made a huge difference in my recovery. But more than that, their genuine care and encouragement that I am always met with is what makes me continue to seek treatment from them. Their knowledge and honesty is what sets them apart from many other physiotherapy places. I’m truly grateful for their support and knowledge and will always encourage others to visit them for treatment.

You have no idea how delighted I am to write this review.

I’ve had the pleasure of receiving treatments for various issues over the years from both Arash and Maddie, and I can confidently say they are exceptional physiotherapists. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care set them apart, and I’ve recommended them to sooooo many of my clients because they help get great results.

If you’re looking for top-tier treatment and want to recover quickly with the highest level of care, this is the team to trust. They always go above and beyond to ensure their patients feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Thank you both for being so awesome 🤩!!

I recommend anyone needing a physiotherapist to try Maddie at MotionHeal Physiotherapy and Massage. After having babies and a work related accident, I develop a lower back pain with difficulties to stand straight. I had tried so many therapist but no permanent result, then I met Maddie who patiently worked with me through the difficult and painful time with care and empathy,. She was professional, patient and listened to every complain without been judgemental or dismissive. I am so glad to have met such an incredible person, I have been pain free for over two years and still going.

Arash was an incredible physiotherapist He helped with my recovery post car accident and I couldn’t recommend him enough. His expertise and knowledge in physiotherapy is truly impressive. He took his time to explain each intervention and its purpose, which helped me understand my recovery process. He isn’t only knowledgeable in physiotherapy, he is kind and cares for his patients. I always enjoyed going to my appointments knowing I was leaving with significant improvements in my pain levels. To anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and skilled physiotherapist, Arash would be your guy! Thank you for everything Arash, if I ever need physio again I will be back.

I’ve been seeing Maddie and Arash for physiotherapy since 2021, and I recommend them to all my clients—who love them just as much as I do! They genuinely care about their patients and don’t treat them like just another number.

I had been seeing a local chiropractor three times a week for a couple of months for a neck issue, but it never improved. I decided to give Maddie a try, and after just two sessions, she completely fixed my issue. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with joint or muscle pain!

Maddie is the absolute best! She's a wealth of information about all things physio related and she is more than happy to educate which for me is key to understanding how to recover and prevent injury. Last year I was having horrific back pain and she was able to diagnose the issue (tight hips and IT band) and she did some dry needling, massage and heat and the next day I was basically back to normal! She also gave me tips and exercises to do to stop it happening again. My husband went to see her for some chronic forearm pain he was experiencing and she fixed him right up after 2 sessions and he hasn't complained since. Can't recommend Maddie more.
