Spinal Cord Injury Physiotherapy in Edmonton

Hands-on techniques gently improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and maintain joint mobility, preventing contractures and pain associated with immobility.

FES promotes movement and stops muscle atrophy by stimulating weak muscles with electrical impulses. When paralysis or weakness occurs, it works well for both the upper and lower limbs.

Using parallel bars, harness systems, and treadmill-based support, our therapists help patients retrain their walking skills, improve balance, and enhance coordination. This step-by-step training helps you regain confidence and safety while walking.

This technique retrains the connection between the brain and muscles through repetitive, guided movements that improve motor control, coordination, and function.

NeuroCatch in Edmonton is an innovative brain-function assessment tool that measures cognitive and sensory responses within minutes. It helps our therapists understand how the brain processes movement signals, allowing us to tailor exercises for optimal neural engagement and recovery outcomes.

The PoNS Treatment is a breakthrough in neuro-rehabilitation. This small device, placed on the tongue, delivers mild electrical pulses to stimulate brain pathways involved in movement and balance. When combined with physiotherapy, it helps improve coordination, walking ability, and neuroplasticity in patients with spinal cord injuries.

• Bioness L200 Go: A small, wearable cuff placed around the leg that activates nerves to stimulate muscle contractions. It enhances gait, stability, and walking endurance.
• Bioness H200: A glove-like device that assists hand function by stimulating nerves and muscles responsible for grip and release. It helps restore fine motor control, making daily tasks such as holding utensils or opening doors easier.
