You will see our occupational therapists when you need help with understanding your pain drivers, pacing, sleep, managing stress and building a meaningful life.
Our physiotherapists will step in when you need a physiotherapy exam, exercise rehabilitation, Clinical Pilates or musculoskeletal treatment.
You may need naturopathy treatment to address possible underlying biological mechanisms to your pain such as digestion, hormone and nervous system issues. Naturopathy can help with natural pain management., sleep, diet and stress.

Falls and fractures are commonly associated with occurring in old age but Next Wave Therapists treat people of all ages with falls risk concerns. While there is alot that can be done to prevent falls, the best time to start falls prevention is now, whatever your age.
The World Health Organization WHO recommends that all adults (regardless of age, health, or ability) do 30-60min of physical activity most days, for optimal physical and mental health. To prevent falls and maintain independence this should include exercise or activities that improve strength and balance.
Every bit of activity helps.
