Comprehensive Physiotherapy for Rehabilitation & Performance
Physiotherapy at Peak Performance Sport & Spine goes beyond traditional physical therapy by focusing on whole-body function and movement patterns that impact your daily life.

We identify underlying movement dysfunctions that may be contributing to your condition and develop targeted interventions to restore optimal movement, strength, and stability.
Functional Assessment & Personalized Programs
Therapeutic Exercise & Rehabilitation
At the core of our physiotherapy program is targeted therapeutic exercise designed to restore proper movement patterns and build functional strength. Rather than generic exercises, we prescribe specific movements that address your particular dysfunctions and gradually progress you toward improved capability. Your exercise program evolves as you improve, with our team providing hands-on guidance to ensure proper form and maximum benefit during each session, as well as home exercise recommendations to support your progress between visits.
Our Techniques
Vasopneumatic Compression / Recovery Boots
Vasopneumatic compression therapy—often referred to as “recovery boots”—uses dynamic, sequential pressure to enhance circulation, flush metabolic waste, and accelerate muscle recovery. By rhythmically inflating and deflating, these boots help reduce post-exercise soreness, improve lymphatic drainage, and promote tissue healing—making them a favorite among athletes and active individuals alike.
Whether you’re managing fatigue after a workout or dealing with chronic lower limb swelling, our recovery boot therapy offers a relaxing, effective solution to keep you performing at your best. Ask our team how this comfortable, non-invasive treatment can complement your rehab or wellness plan.
Infrared Light Therapy for Acute & Chronic MSK Conditions
Infrared light therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into muscles, joints, and tissues to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. Clinically backed for its effectiveness in treating both acute injuries and chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, this therapy supports natural healing, improves circulation, and may help reduce reliance on pain medication.
At Peak Performance, we use state-of-the-art infrared technology to target problem areas safely and comfortably. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing arthritis, or experiencing muscle tightness, infrared therapy can be a powerful tool in your recovery and pain relief plan.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique designed to support muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. When applied by our trained clinicians, the elastic tape gently lifts the skin to reduce pressure and inflammation, improve circulation, and facilitate healing. It can also enhance postural awareness and provide functional support during activity.
From sports performance to injury rehab, kinesiology taping can help relieve pain, reduce swelling, and prevent further strain. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking for extra stability during movement, this versatile therapy is a great addition to your treatment plan.
Advanced Physical Modalities
Our physiotherapy services incorporate advanced physical modalities that complement your rehabilitation program. These include electrical stimulation to reduce pain and muscle spasm, ultrasound therapy to accelerate tissue healing, and specialized techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation. These modalities are strategically applied as part of your comprehensive treatment plan, not as standalone therapies, ensuring they contribute meaningfully to your overall recovery process.
Preventing Future Injuries
A key focus of our physiotherapy approach is injury prevention through education and proactive conditioning. We help you understand the biomechanical factors that contributed to your injury and teach you strategies to avoid reinjury in the future. For athletes and active individuals, Dr. Hedges’ sports medicine expertise adds valuable insight into sport-specific movement patterns and training approaches that can enhance performance while reducing injury risk, allowing you to participate confidently in your favorite activities.
