Our Services
Our services are available at The Age Well Clinic (at 902 Athletics, 446 York Street, Bridgewater), and at homes, hospital rooms, gyms and swimming pools throughout Lunenburg County and South Queens, NS.
If you haven't bounced back from surgery, an injury, pregnancy/birth, or a serious health event such as cancer, a heart attack, or a car accident as easily or as quickly as you'd hoped, we would be happy to help you recover and maximize your improvement. We can also visit you in hospital (at South Shore Regional, Fisherman's Memorial, and Queen's General) to provide comprehensive rehab services and help you get home (or to Rehab) as quickly as you can.
RECOVER FROM INJURY, SURGERY & MAJOR HEALTH EVENTS
PREPARE FOR AN UPCOMING SURGERY
Did you know that getting in shape prior to surgery can help you get better results from surgeries such as hip or knee replacements, organ transplants, and open heart surgery? Let us help you stay as healthy and functional as possible while awaiting surgery, and get the best possible result from your surgery when it happens.
REHABILITATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
If you've experienced a neurological event such as a stroke or brain injury, we can guide your physical recovery and help you optimize your movement and function. If you have a neurological condition, such as Parkinson's or MS, we can help you optimize your current function and maintain abilities that are important to you as long as possible.
REDUCE CHRONIC PAIN & CHRONIC FATIGUE
We have extensive experience treating chronic pain and chronic fatigue, and harness modern pain science to guide recovery. Whether you have fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, long COVID, complex regional pain syndrome, arthritis, or pain stemming from an accident or injury many years ago, we can help you move forward, feel better, and be able to do more.
LIVE WELL DESPITE CHRONIC DISEASE
Is a condition such as COPD, arthritis, osteoporosis, or diabetes preventing you from feeling well?
​Are you struggling to recover following a serious health event, such as cancer, or open heart surgery?
​Let us help you recover through personalized exercise programming designed to help you feel better and improve your health as quickly as you can.
GET HEALTHY & FIT
We are highly qualified to design personalized fitness programs, either for you to work on at your own pace, or with us coaching you to help you get the most out of your workout. We can also teach you science-based strategies for sticking with an exercise routine, so you get good long-term results rather than dropping your routine after a couple of weeks. If you like, we can meet you at a swimming pool for hydrotherapy or aquatic exercise.
PREVENT FALLS
Falls are a leading cause of injury and death in older adults. Did you know that doing strengthening and balance exercises, and making some simple changes to your home & your routine can significantly reduce your risk of falls? We conduct comprehensive fall prevention and home safety assessments designed to help reduce the risk of fall-related injuries.
REMAIN INDEPENDENT IN YOUR HOME
People often lose the ability to live safely in their own homes when they lose valued abilities such as walking, keeping their balance, getting up from toilets and chairs, getting in and out of bed, etc. We can help you or your loved one optimize function and acquire the equipment needed to remain safely independent at home as long as possible.
FEEL STRONG & HEALTHY DURING PREGNANCY & AFTER BIRTH
Experiencing pain, diastasis recti, incontinence, prolapse, or other pelvic health issues or pregnancy-related discomforts? We can help you maximize your comfort and function while you prepare for birth, and as you recover afterwards.
Appointment Types
Mobile visits are a great option for people who face transportation or mobility challenges, people who prefer to avoid clinic environments, people who live far from a physiotherapy clinic or have challenges accessing transportation, people with caregiving responsibilities, and anyone who prefers the convenience of a home visit to travelling to a clinic.​
​
As well as visiting people at home, we also visit hospital rooms, gyms, and swimming pools. If you'd like a personalized exercise program to do at your local gym or swimming pool, we would be happy to help!

It may surprise you to learn that virtual (online) physiotherapy and occupational therapy are just as effective as in person treatments. In fact, patients often tell us that they prefer virtual appointments, because they're less time consuming (no driving time), cheaper (no one's paying for gas to get there), and easier to access (no one needs to irritate their bad knee hobbling to an appointment).​
