Physiotherapy services Edmonton
Physiotherapy services at our southeast Edmonton clinic are built from a few core treatments: hands-on work to change symptoms in the short term, graded exercise to build capacity over weeks, and dry needling or shockwave added only when the presentation calls for it.

How Physiotherapy Services Edmonton Are Tailored to Your Needs?
Physiotherapy (physical therapy) at Vertex is built from a small number of core treatments. No single technique treats everything. After assessment, the therapist proposes a combination — usually hands-on treatment to change symptoms in the short term, and exercise to change capacity over weeks. Adjuncts such as dry needling or shockwave are added where the presentation calls for them, not by default.

Structured programs for the stages after the acute problem is over: after a fracture, after a stroke, when pain has become persistent, or when balance and confidence need rebuilding.
Physiotherapy Services and Other Clinic Services
These are delivered by practitioners registered with their own colleges, not by physiotherapists. They are booked separately, and your insurance may treat them as different benefits.
Common Questions About Physiotherapy Services
How do you decide which treatments I get?
From the assessment. Hands-on treatment, needling, shockwave and exercise are chosen for what your problem needs, not applied as a fixed package. Most plans combine something to change symptoms in the short term with exercise to change the problem in the long term.
Can I see the massage therapist and physiotherapist at the same clinic?
Yes. Physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, psychology, counselling and nutrition are all at 6958 76 Ave NW #205, and practitioners coordinate when someone is seeing more than one. Each is booked and billed separately.
Do you offer appointments outside office hours?
The clinic is open six days a week. Call (825) 525-2852 for current availability; the front desk will find a time that fits rather than book you into one that does not.
Which services are provided by a physiotherapist and which by someone else?
Physiotherapy services are provided by physiotherapists registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta. Massage therapy, acupuncture, psychology, counselling and nutrition are provided by practitioners registered with their own professional bodies, and the team page says who is who.
