We pride ourselves on a welcoming, friendly and laid-back atmosphere for both clients and staff. We provide musculoskeletal injury assessment and rehabilitation, with focus on education, patient empowerment, and skill-based intervention including manual therapy and individualized exercise programming. Current practitioners have strong sports injury backgrounds which allows us to effectively manage athlete injuries from the acute stage to return to sport/activity, facilitating injury prevention and longevity in sport. That being said, we treat all types of individuals and work together to achieve their unique goals. We offer registered physiotherapy services, certified athletic therapy services, shockwave treatment, acupuncture, cupping, and more.

The Surrounding Area

The town of Walkerton is a beautiful community located in Bruce County. 30min to Lake Huron beaches, less than an hour to Owen Sound, approximately 1.5 hours to Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph and London, and 2 hours to Toronto. Bruce County has lots to offer for outdoor enthusiasts, with trails, rivers and lakes nearby. Essential amenities, downtown boutiques, and recreational facilities combined with the slowed-down pace of small-town living makes Walkerton perfect for families.
