Ayushi Mehra, owner and physiotherapist, wanted to create a facility that would provide the finest one on one care to clients in a welcoming environment. The goal was to assist people with injuries or post-surgery recovery to get back to their original self and do what they love doing, be it walking, running, lifting, or even gardening.
We opened our doors for clients beginning 2021 in the thick of COVID and lockdown. Originally the business only offered physiotherapy but as we grew, we incorporated other services like; Massage Therapy, Chiropractor, Acupuncture, Cupping and Shiatsu, and Manual Osteopathy.
It enabled us to incorporate collaborative care environment where one therapist discusses the needs of their clients with other practitioners to provide the best treatment possible. This teamwork amongst different practitioners means you will be referred to the most appropriate health care provider who knows your condition best and is able to provide the finest treatment per your condition.
We work tirelessly to hire and work with licenced practitioners who are experts in their fields with diverse experience and treatment styles. All the treatments offered at Waterfront Physio & Rehab are evidence based and involve manual therapy. Not to mention since all our therapists are licensed, it allows us to directly bill to your insurance😊
For your comfort, our team uses an online exercise platform as part of treatment plan with personalized videos that can be done at home. The platform lets the therapists stay connected by reviewing your progress, providing feedback and even sending motivating reminders. The result is more effective treatment, fewer visits to the therapist and more value for your money.
We vision a community where everyone achieves full potential for health and well-being across their lifespan and be able to avoid medication and surgery.
