Science-informed solutions for lasting results.

At the core of our approach is the McGill Method—a research-backed system for assessing and treating back pain through precise movement strategies and spine-sparing techniques.

Beyond spine rehabilitation, we deliver expert physiotherapy for orthopedic and sports injuries. Our comprehensive assessments integrate nutrition counseling, ergonomics, physiotherapy, and clinical performance coaching for complex chronic conditions. We also provide movement optimization and therapeutic yoga for athletes and active individuals managing injury or pursuing higher performance.

McGill Method Certified Provider

The McGill Method

The gold standard in back pain treatment.

Sebastian Wozniak is Eastern Ontario’s certified practitioner of Dr Stuart McGill’s research-based method for assessing and treating back pain.

Instead of generic exercises that often make things worse, the McGill Method identifies the specific causes of your pain and teaches you exactly how to move to reduce spine stress, rebuild performance capacity, and prevent future injury.

Comprehensive care for active living

Low-Back Rehabilitation

McGill Method

Our Low-Back Rehabilitation program is rooted in the evidence-based principles developed by Dr. Stuart McGill, a world-renowned expert in spine biomechanics and back pain rehabilitation. The McGill Method focuses on identifying the specific mechanical triggers contributing to pain and building spinal stability through targeted movement strategies, posture correction, and endurance-based core training.

Rather than relying on generalized stretching or aggressive exercise, this approach emphasizes personalized rehabilitation designed to reduce pain, improve resilience, and restore confident movement for both everyday life and athletic performance.

Acute Back Pain Physiotherapy

Acute low-back pain can be debilitating, limiting mobility, work, exercise, and daily activities. Our physiotherapy approach combines hands-on treatment, pain management strategies, movement assessment, and progressive rehabilitation to help clients recover safely and efficiently.

Whether your pain stems from lifting injuries, disc irritation, muscle strain, sciatica, or postural stress, treatment is individualized to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, rebuild strength, and prevent recurrence.

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy services provide comprehensive, head-to-toe rehabilitation for both minor and complex injuries. We treat a wide range of conditions including sports injuries, chronic pain, joint dysfunction, postural issues, and post-surgical recovery following hip, knee, shoulder, spine, and foot procedures.

Through a combination of manual therapy, movement assessment, exercise prescription, strength training, and education, we create individualized treatment plans designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term recovery.

Cardiac & Respiratory Health

Our Cardiac & Respiratory Health programs combine prevention, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and lifestyle coaching to support cardiovascular and pulmonary wellness.

Services include sub-maximal aerobic testing, monitored cardiovascular and strength-training exercise programs, nutrition assessment, and individualized lifestyle modification strategies.

Whether you are recovering from illness, managing chronic respiratory or cardiac conditions, or looking to improve endurance and overall health, our evidence-informed approach helps clients build strength, confidence, and long-term resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

Nutrition Consulting

Our nutrition consulting services are designed to support health, recovery, and performance through practical, individualized strategies.

We provide guidance for weight management, muscle gain, fat loss, osteoporosis support, low-inflammation nutrition programs, and post-concussion recovery.

By combining evidence-based nutrition education with realistic lifestyle planning, we help clients develop sustainable habits that improve energy, recovery, body composition, and overall wellbeing.

Athletic Rehabilitation & Performance

Our Athletic Rehabilitation & Performance programs bridge the gap between injury recovery and peak performance. Using our fully equipped rehabilitation gym, clients receive one-on-one training tailored to their sport, goals, and stage of recovery.

Whether returning from injury, rebuilding strength, or optimizing athletic performance, we combine physiotherapy, mobility training, strength and conditioning, and movement retraining to help clients move confidently and perform at their highest level.

We love collaborating with coaches, trainers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure a seamless return to competition while reducing future injury risk.

Veteran Physiotherapy

We are proud to support local veterans by providing accessible physiotherapy services tailored to their unique needs.

Our clinic bills Veterans Affairs Canada directly whenever eligible, helping reduce barriers to care while simplifying the treatment process.

Services may include rehabilitation for chronic pain, orthopedic injuries, mobility limitations, post-surgical recovery, functional conditioning, balance training, and return-to-activity planning.

Every treatment plan is individualized to improve mobility, confidence, independence, and long-term quality of life.

Buteyko Method Breath Coaching

Our Buteyko Method Breath Coaching teaches clients to develop healthier breathing patterns by improving breath awareness and carbon dioxide tolerance, helping the body deliver oxygen more efficiently.

Sessions may be offered independently or integrated with yoga, mobility therapy, and cardio-respiratory rehabilitation to create a truly holistic treatment experience.

Benefits may include improved athletic performance, enhanced endurance, better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, improved stress management, and support for asthma, dysfunctional breathing patterns, and sleep apnea.

Programs are developed collaboratively with our cardio-respiratory physiotherapist to ensure every client receives an individualized plan.

Yoga & Mobility Therapy

Our Yoga & Mobility Therapy programs are designed collaboratively between the client and physiotherapist to support each person’s unique movement goals and stage of recovery.

Combining guided mobility work, breath-focused movement, stability training, strength development, and restorative flow, these sessions help improve flexibility, joint mobility, posture, balance, and body awareness.

With access to our fully equipped rehabilitation gym, clients safely develop greater mobility, strength, resilience, and confidence while learning sustainable movement habits for everyday life.

Programs are appropriate for beginners, active adults, athletes, and individuals recovering from injury who simply want to move and feel better.

McGill Method Process

The McGill Method is so much more than your standard physio assessment.

Consultation

After completing your intake form, we will schedule a brief phone consultation to understand your symptoms, pain history, and how your lifestyle affects your condition.

Together, we will determine if the McGill Method is the right solution for you.

Initial Assessment

Your comprehensive in-person assessment lasts 3-4 hours and includes a detailed interview and complete physical evaluation with registered physiotherapist and certified McGill Method practitioner, Sebastian Wozniak.

Eliminating Pain

We create a treatment plan focused on the root cause of your back pain—what to do and what to avoid. This goes far beyond generic exercises, targeting your specific injury patterns to discover and eliminate pain triggers.

Your Personalized Plan

Every client receives a customized treatment plan including movement coaching, ergonomic solutions, corrective exercises, and positions of relief.

We empower you with the knowledge and tools for long-term success, often achieving remarkable results in just one comprehensive session.
