At Gemini Health Group, we can treat a wide range musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Neck Pain
Alleviate neck discomfort with personalized physiotherapy treatments in our Richmond Hill, designed to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Our expert team of professionals are perfectly equipped to help your neck pain. Whether it’s a chronic issue that you have been dealing with for a long time or an acute injury you woke up with this morning, our therapists can help you fast. Our team relies primarily on a combination of:
- Manual therapy – including soft tissue and joint mobilization (and manipulation if required) and deep tissue trigger point release.
- Education on the right therapeutic exercises, sitting and working ergonomics.
- Only the most impactful modalities such as shockwave therapy and acupuncture
Our therapists understand that neck pain often happens as a result of poor sleep positions, and can recommend important changes to your pillow placement, and remind you to rotate your mattress every 3 months.
Shoulder Pain
Experience relief from shoulder pain through our expert physiotherapists in Richmond Hill, focusing on strengthening and restoring function.
At Gemini Health Group we recognize that shoulder pain can be a tough one to live with and overcome in many cases because we don’t recognize the aggravating factors and continue to irritate the pain unknowingly. Our elite team of therapists can help identify the right therapeutic exercises that will help the shoulder get the blood-flow it needs to heal while not aggravating it. They will teach you the movements that are worth modifying or avoiding altogether while the shoulder is recovering.
Our therapists recognize that shoulder pain often stems from the neck which is why previous treatments may not have worked for you in the past. Treating the neck can be pivotal in addressing nagging shoulder pain, especially if pain, numbness/tingling is sometimes felt below the elbow, in the hand and fingers.
Our team of expert therapists will guide you on how to sleep better with your shoulder pain, use it more and prevent the devastating effects of atrophy and disuse. Although the road to recovery from many shoulder pains is slow and unpleasant, our therapists will use every tool available to help you on the way including:
- Manual therapy – including soft tissue and joint mobilization (and manipulation if required) and deep tissue trigger point release.
- Education on the right therapeutic exercises (rotator cuff strengthening/stretching), sitting and working ergonomics.
- Only the most impactful modalities such as shockwave therapy and acupuncture
Lower Back Pain
Experience lasting relief from lower back pain with our targeted physiotherapy services in Richmond Hill, focused on restoring strength and flexibility.
Our team of expert therapists specializes in helping you with your acute and chronic low back pain. This type of pain is (unfortunately) our bread and butter. It is the most common reason for people to seek help from a physiotherapist, a chiropractor or a registered massage therapist.
The sad reality is that despite it being extremely common most clinics do not teach patients how to self manage their low back health and prevent severe pains from coming back. We actually know a lot about why back pain starts, recurs so often and lingers. At the heart of the issue is the massive imbalance we have between bending forward and bending backward. Considering that our lumbar spine bends forward most of the time when we sit, most North Americans are bent forward between 12-14 hours per day.
Our clinicians know that the secret to resolving low back pain is to introduce frequent repetitive bending backwards exercises. The sloppy push up is the primary movement our therapists teach patients among a variety of other custom-tailored exercises that they deem valuable for you.
Our elite team of therapists use a variety of tools to help your low back pain including:
- Manual therapy – including soft tissue and joint mobilization (and manipulation if required) and deep tissue trigger point release.
- Education on the right therapeutic exercises, sitting and working ergonomics.
- Only the most impactful modalities such as shockwave therapy and acupuncture

The tools our therapists use include:

Sports injuries can be frustrating, but they can also be an opportunity. An opportunity to learn about your body, gain a better understanding of how it fixes itself and get better prepared for the next time an injury happens.

What about unsuccessful experiences in the past?
If you’ve gone through unsuccessful physiotherapy in the past, you you’re not alone. We know exactly how you feel because we have been there ourselves. Not all physiotherapy is equal. As athletes ourselves we have gone through physiotherapy for our own injuries in the past and have seen how different the experience can be. What sets us apart from other clinics is the fact that we emphasize your knowledge on what is happening and where your pain is coming from. We believe that when you know more about your body and the source of your pain, you can help speed the recovery process up and prevent re-injury. This is the basic principle that Gemini Health Group was founded on.
