Intramuscular stimulation, commonly referred to as IMS, is a physiotherapy technique used to treat chronic pain that is caused by neuropathy (damaged, injured or dysfunctional nerves). When an individual experiences persistent and unexplained pain, neuropathy may be the cause.

DRY NEEDLING
Fee:  included in assessment and treatment fee | Locations: High Performance Centre, Fort Saskatchewan, Northgate Centre
Dry needling, also known as functional dry needling or FDN, is a therapeutic treatment procedure that involves multiple advances of a filament needle into the dysfunctional muscle, which typically contains a ‘trigger point’. There is no injectable solution and typically the needle used is very thin. Most patients will not even feel the needle penetrate the skin, but once it has and is advanced into the muscle, the feeling of discomfort can vary from patient to patient.

CUPPING THERAPY
Fee: Please Contact Us Directly | Locations: High Performance Centre, Fort Saskatchewan, Northgate Centre
One of the treatments used by our Registered Massage Therapists is cupping therapy. This modified version of Eastern style cupping is also referred to as myofascial cupping because it works on a deeper level into the myofascial tissue surrounding the muscle. Cupping therapy involves the use of plastic or silicone cups. A gentle manual vacuum pump creates a negative pressure that draws the soft tissue into the cups. The cups can be moved around or placed into stationary positions. The cupping therapy used at Pivotal Physiotherapy works on a myofascial level, much deeper than a practitioners hands can achieve, and all with much less discomfort to the patient.

SPORT PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES
Fee: Varies by needs | Locations: High Performance Centre, ARC by Pivotal

We all love objective results. More curls = bigger biceps. But how does one measure the mind? In sport, as well in life, we often neglect how crucial our mind, and how our thoughts affect our performance. An athlete has to be both physically & mentally fit in order to reach his/her potential. With an increasing demand for results in our society, sport psychology is a vastly growing field where professionals can help athletes become more aware of the processes of the complex mind, and how it can sometimes get in the way of performing optimally. The emphasis is in the process, and not the outcome. Using high quality tools and resources, Marek’s goal as your sport psychology consultant, is to simply guide athletes in forming a healthy, confident, and happy individual ready to perform at their potential.

RECOVERY SERVICES
Fee: Varies by needs | Locations: ARC by Pivotal

Athletes often experience DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) following an intense training session. DOMS can lead to pain and stiffness. However, receiving our recovery services will offer the opportunity for athletes to recovery quicker and essentially feel fresher faster! This will allow athletes to engage in higher quality and more frequent training sessions throughout their program. In addition, we have implemented an open schedule throughout our operating hours exclusive to recovery treatments; therefore, athletes can squeeze in shorter sessions during their busy week rather than fitting in a full physiotherapy session.
