Techniques such as manual therapy, joint mobilization, and soft-tissue treatment are used to improve joint motion, relieve stiffness, and reduce pain.

You’ll receive an exercise program designed specifically for you to rebuild strength, stability, flexibility, and endurance—both in the clinic and at home.

We explain what’s going on in your body and how to manage your condition, so you feel confident and in control between visits.
Physiotherapy Services Available at Cogent Rehab Burlington
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with long-standing pain, or healing from a sports injury, we offer a range of physiotherapy services to support your recovery journey.
If you’ve recently had a joint replacement, ligament repair, spinal surgery, or other procedure, our post-surgical rehab programs help you safely regain strength, mobility, and confidence. We work closely with your surgical goals to reduce pain, improve function, and support a smooth return to daily activities.
From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, we help you recover from sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and sports-related trauma. Our programs focus on restoring movement, building resilience, and reducing the risk of re-injury so you can return to sport safely and perform at your best.
Conditions like arthritis, tendinopathy, and long-standing back or neck pain can significantly impact your quality of life. We use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and education to help reduce pain, improve function, and support you in managing your symptoms long term.
For individuals living with or recovering from conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or neuropathy, our neurological rehab programs focus on improving balance, coordination, walking ability, and independence in everyday activities.
If you’re dealing with back pain, neck pain, shoulder issues, hip or knee problems, or general joint and muscle injuries, orthopaedic physiotherapy can help. We assess how your joints, muscles, and movement patterns work together and design a plan to restore function and reduce pain.
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems can make everyday tasks feel unsafe. Our vestibular rehab programs help with conditions like BPPV, vestibular neuritis, and age-related balance issues. Your physiotherapist uses specific exercises and manoeuvres to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and lower your risk of falls so you can move with more confidence.
Concussions can affect balance, vision, neck function, and thinking speed. At Cogent Rehab Burlington, we assess your symptoms and design a graded rehab plan that may include vestibular and balance exercises, neck treatment, visual drills, and return-to-work or sport guidance. The goal is to help you recover safely and return to daily life with more clarity and control.
After a car accident, issues like neck pain, back pain, headaches, and stiffness are common. Our MVA rehab programs combine hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and education to reduce pain and restore movement. We also help you pace activities and plan your gradual return to work, driving, and daily tasks with greater confidence and comfort.
