Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

I am pleased to offer physiotherapy management of musculoskeletal conditions to clients in Quesnel. This includes pre- and post-operative rehabilitation and conditions such as back and neck pain, sciatica, joint pain, osteoarthritis, sports injuries and all other aches and pains of musculoskeletal origin.

Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation

I also offer Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS), a ‘whole body’ system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain. It involves a broad assessment of the whole body, not only the painful area(s), and it considers dysfunction in the nervous system as a cause of persistent myofascial pain and dysfunction. Gunn IMS involves inserting thin needles into specific muscles in order to stimulate the muscles and nerves.

Who may benefit from Gunn IMS assessment and treatment?

People with persistent musculoskeletal pain including:

  • back and neck pain

  • sciatica and other nerve related pain such as from an irritated nerve root

  • joint pain including pain associated with osteoarthritis

  • rotator cuff related pain

  • tendinopathies e.g. ‘tennis elbow’ and ‘golfer’s elbow’’

  • plantar heel pain

  • pain that has not resolved even after an acute injury (such as a ligament sprain or muscle strain) has had sufficient time to heal

Payment Policy

Payment by debit card only. Direct billing not available including to ICBC and WCB.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments cancelled / rescheduled within 24 hours, and missed appointments, will be charged the full fee. Only sudden illness or true emergencies qualify for exceptions, at my discretion.
