Manual Physiotherapy, Cryo-Therapy, Hydrotherapy & Shockwave Programs in
Vancouver & Port Moody, BC
Many people go through a stage in their life where their physical functioning is below par. Their quality of life suffers, sometimes self-esteem & people often have associated pain that disrupts work, relationships, sleep - in fact their whole life. Stephanie can help to get you back on form at a pace to suit your lifestyle in Vancouver or Port Moody.
Stephanie's first step is to carry out a one-to-one assessment - a period during which you both get to know each other and she can ask questions about the problem that brings you to seek assistance with your physical fitness or mobility - was it a car accident, a fall, a sports injury, a gradual deterioration or the onset of pain during everyday activity?
Manual Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy Sessions - Port Moody & Vancouver BC
Manual Physiotherapy Treatment Approach
You will get the undivided attention of Stephanie for the entire duration of your Physiotherapy treatment session. You can choose to book either a 30 or 60- minute appointment. This focused, one-to-one approach facilitates the development of a more comprehensive treatment plan to help recover from injury and allows for more productive treatment sessions with more time for patient education, manual techniques, and supervised exercise to help prevent recurring injuries.
Stephanie's aim is to identify and correct the dysfunctional movement patterns that are often at the root of pain and injury. This facilitates a more complete rehab process, and empowers the patient with the knowledge of what to do to prevent, minimize, or self-manage re-occurrences.
We offer a qualified Physiotherapist intervention across the spectrum of wellness and function — from preventative screenings to injury rehabilitation, to peak sports performance — and will create an individualized physiotherapy plan to help you reach your goals.
At Maxfit Movement Institute in Port Moody Stephanie can offer a number of different physiotherapy programs including Cryo-Therapy, Aquatic Therapy and Shockwave Therapy. Stephanie can suggest and tailor a program that best fits your physiotherapy needs whether you require post-operative rehab, suffer from acute or chronic injuries or are looking for a low impact, muscle strengthening program.
Hydrotherapy Programs
Hydro-therapy Sessions - Port Moody BC
Hydrotherapy Treatment Approach
The AquaCiser:
Water provides buoyancy, helping you move simply, providing therapeutic exercise in water. It also decreases impact, lowering chances of further injury or pain. Water provides resistance and as a result, can help you strengthen your muscles and prevent further chances of re-injury. The warm water also increases circulation to injured areas as well as relaxing muscles. The pressure of water also can help reduce swelling edema of injured areas. Aquatic therapy is an effective and safe way to treat some diseases and maintain health and wellness. Aquatic Physical Therapy combined with appropriate standard, land-based therapy can shorten the disability period.
Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy
- Shockwave Therapy promotes healing of degenerative tissue leading to reduced pain and increased joint function
- Micro-trauma of repeated shock waves to the affected area creates neo-vascularization (new blood flow) into the area and promotes tissue healing.
- Also effective at breaking down calcium deposits which can develop in various tissues and result in chronic injury/pain.

What is Cryo-Therapy
Cryo-Therapy utilizes components of the foundational practice of the RICE regimen (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) to treat acute and chronic injuries as well as assisting in post-operative rehabilitation. Cryo-Therapy uses a combination of adjustable ice and intermittent compression by controlling air pressure and fluid flow through a wrap that is designed for use on almost all parts of the body such as hands, elbows, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and lower back. Cryo-Therapy and our 'Game Ready' device is so effective that the treatment system is relied on by Olympic athletes, special military forces, and countless teams from virtually every professional sport around the world. Better still, people who have used Cryo-Therapy overwhelmingly say that it helped speed and improve their recovery.
