Touch is essential for physical and emotional well-being. We all know that a pat on the back or a kiss can make you feel special. Research shows that the right kind of touch can lower your blood pressure, improve your mood and relax your body. Your Registered Massage Therapist at Fairview Physiotherapy will ensure that the proper touch and treatment technique will match your particular condition.
What is Accupuncture ?
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology originating in ancient China that treats patients by manipulating very thin, solid needles that have been inserted into acupuncture points in the skin. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi (energy) through channels known as meridians.
Origins of Acupuncture
Acupuncture originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. Although there are records of acupuncture being used hundreds of years ago in Europe, it was during the second half of the twentieth century it began to spread rapidly in Western Europe, the United States and Canada.
Learning How to Decrease Pain and Improve Your Function
Ask your physiotherapist to provide you with education about pain science and pain management
Practice relaxation, breathing exercises and body awareness exercises every day. Work with your physiotherapist to bring these techniques into your exercises and daily activities.
Understand that pain does not have to limit you from participating in your usual daily activities – relaxation, breath control and letting go of muscle tension may provide less need to modify activities with the guidance of your physiotherapist.
Pace yourself. Work with your physiotherapist to learn how to set goals for work, hobbies and social activities that will not flare up your pain, and that will allow you to recover.

I began seeing Kenny as the result of a neck injury I sustained and was unable to resolve through various other therapeutic methods. At the time, the pain and discomfort I was experiencing, and the extended length of time that I had been dealing with it, led me to believe that the injury was permanent. Kenny was able to diagnose the issues at the first appointment and immediately began to eliminate my neck pain through a combination of gentle manipulations and acupuncture treatments. read more
