Ergonomic Assessment

According to Statistics Canada in 2007, Workplace injuries reported in well over half a million Canadian Workers. In Canada 10-20 billion dollars are spent yearly in costs associated with disability. In 2003, employers spent nearly 1 billion every week on wages and medical care for workers hurt on the job. According to Liberty Mutual’s Workplace Safety Index, the leading cause of workplace injuries in 2003 was overexertion or injuries caused from excessive lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, carrying or throwing of an object.


Our Certified Assessment Specialists conduct on-site evaluations of the jobs’ ergonomic requirements, examining the fit between the workers and the work. The evaluation identifies the workers’ sizes, strength, and abilities to handle tasks, tools, problem areas, and the overall work environment. A comprehensive report is prepared that outlines potential risk factors and identifies cost-effective solutions to improve worker safety and performance and reduce and/or prevent the risk of injuries.


Our highly qualified therapists and ergonomic specialists provide expert treatment for work-related injuries. We work closely with each individual, using an interdisciplinary approach that is tailored to the specific needs of the injured worker. 

Motor Vehicle Accident

If you have been in an motor vehicle accident, you have access to physiotherapy through your car insurance policy. You do not need to see a physician first, unless you so choose. You may see one of our physiotherapists or chiropractors directly, and as soon as possible. We will assess you and if further investigation is required by a doctor, we will make the appropriate referral or send a letter to your own physician.
  • Research shows that even low impact accidents at speeds as low as 15 mph can cause bodily injury. If left untreated, these injuries could lead to future problems like headaches, tingling and numbness, muscle weakness, and even disc problems.
  • Visiting a Healthcare Professional is Essential Following a Motor Vehicle Accident.
  • Motor vehicle accident injuries are treated after a complete and thorough assessment is performed. This allows us to identify the exact extent of your injuries and design a treatment plan that is unique to your condition. This is usually followed by a series of physiotherapy, chiropractic or Massage therapy treatments and exercises. Treatment times vary greatly and are adjusted according to your individual progress.

Physical Demands Analysis

Our team evaluates all of the physical and environmental demand components of all essential and non-essential tasks of a job; we establish what the job is, in it’s entirety. A complete analysis is conducted to determine the compatibility between the worker and a specific job. The job is examined by breaking down the job in individual tasks.

The environmental conditions will be examined as well as the use of machines, equipment, tools, work aids, and physical demands of each task.

The treatment programs are designed to provide physiotherapy to employees who have been injured but are still able to perform their regular work duties.

Our health care professionals diagnose and provide hands-on physiotherapy treatment and an active exercise program (at home or in-clinic) to address movement dysfunction. Attention is given to symptom relief, while ensuring employees maintain their work status. Physiotherapists also plan and implement individual treatment programs to prevent physical disabilities.
