Robin McKenzie, Physiotherapist and creator of the McKenzie
At Motion Lab Physio, we are dedicated to helping you regain your mobility, relieve pain, and enhance your quality of life. Physiotherapy is a holistic, patient-centered approach focused on improving movement and function, whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or aiming to optimize your physical performance.
We work with patients of all ages, from athletes seeking peak performance to individuals recovering from surgery or managing musculoskeletal conditions. We develop customized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals, using evidence-based techniques that foster safe and effective recovery.
Telehealth allows you to receive healthcare remotely for injuries covered by ACC. Using video or phone consultations, physiotherapists assess, treat, and guide your recovery from home, saving you time and travel. It’s a convenient option for managing injuries and ongoing care.
Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques by physiotherapists to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It includes joint mobilizations, soft tissue work, and stretching to enhance movement, reduce pain, restore function, and promote healing in muscles, joints, and connective tissues.
Western acupuncture involves using fine needles to target specific muscle spots, helping to reduce pain, improve blood flow, and boost muscle function. Unlike traditional Chinese acupuncture, which focuses on energy flow, Western acupuncture is based on modern science and aims to treat muscle and joint problems.
We use the ActivForce 2, a device designed for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation. It accurately measures and monitors muscle strength, allowing us to track patient progress and assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatments.
We help athletes recover from injuries and return to their sport safely. We assess and diagnose injuries, manage pain, design rehabilitation programs, and correct movement patterns. Injury prevention is also discussed to ensure athletes are ready to perform at their best.
We help promote workplace wellness by preventing injuries, managing muscle and joint problems, and supporting recovery. Our team assesses employees’ health, provides ergonomic advice, and ensures safe work practices, leading to better productivity and fewer sick days.
Electrotherapy is used to treat pain, muscle weakness, and injuries. It delivers electrical impulses to muscles or nerves, aiding in pain relief, improving circulation, and enhancing muscle strength. It’s often used alongside other rehabilitation therapies.
The McKenzie Method is an approach for treating musculoskeletal pain, especially in the spine. It uses specific movements and exercises to diagnose pain, relieve symptoms, and teach patients self-management techniques for long-term recovery and injury prevention.
Mulligan Technique uses specific mobilizations and joint movements to relieve pain and improve mobility. It combines gentle, pain-free mobilizations with active movements to restore function and reduce discomfort, particularly in joints and muscles.
