Fitness Coaching/Kinesiology
Clients begin with our Customized Functional Fitness package, which includes four 1-hour sessions. The first is the comprehensive assessment, the second session reviews the customized workout plan, and the third and fourth sessions provide opportunities to fine-tune technique and reassess where required. From there, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly check-ins can be provided.
A customized strength and conditioning program will be developed based on your consultation and evaluation results. During coaching sessions, we will guide you through appropriate technique for each of your strength and flexibility exercises, ensuring you’re form and technique is correct. We aim to provide opportunities to optimize technique, offer progressions and variations, and provide feedback and modifications as required. With our coaching sessions you will build a solid strength foundation, improve movement capability, optimize alignment and mobility, exceed your physical barriers, feel better, reduce potential injuries, increase energy, improve performance, and restore balance.
Some of our coaches are Registered Kinesiologists. Services by Registered Kinesiologists may be covered by extended health plans as a medical service expense. Please contact your provider to learn more, and let us know if you are seeking a Registered Kinesiologist before booking.
Athletic Therapy
Athletic Therapists are health care professionals who specialize in the prevention, assessment and care of musculoskeletal disorders, especially as they relate to athletics and the pursuit of physical activity (OATA, 2009). Athletic Therapists (ATs) are usually the first to respond to an injury or emergency typically in a sports setting. All levels of active people and teams use ATs for their knowledge of acute injuries. All athletes and active people want “rapid return to work and play” (OATA). Once the diagnosis is made, the AT will treat and manage the injury. What separates ATs from other health care professionals is the keen awareness of acute injury management, biomechanics, strength and conditioning and manual therapy. This, along with advanced first aid, makes an Athletic Therapist a great choice for athletes of all levels. Athletic Therapists are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions). Athletic Therapists use advanced assessments, for instance, cranial nerve testing and the SCAT test, to determine if a concussion may have been sustained. Manual therapy and working alongside sports medicine physicians are also in the scope of athletic therapy.
Athletic therapy within a clinical setting provides the same mix of on-the-field care and expertise in musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) for all individuals with varying activity levels.
Athletic Therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care, whereby practitioners treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription, and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies, but the objective remains the same: to help clients return to their usual activities, whether playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox.
Some extended health benefit plans cover athletic therapy, and can be claimed as a medical service expense. Please contact your provider to learn more, and let us know if you are seeking our service through your medical provider prior to booking.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy. Massage Therapists use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine traditional and modern Massage Therapy techniques with exercise and other therapies to treat their clients.
Our assessments and treatments can include orthopaedic and neurological testing, soft tissue manipulation (Swedish massage is the most commonly used technique), remedial exercise programs, and client education programs. With Continuum Fitness enjoy a clean, professional, and safe environment.

Registered Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals who treat injuries or persistent pain that affects how you live, work, and play. Our goal is to get you back to your activities and help you become the best version of yourself!
Physiotherapy starts with an initial assessment to diagnose your problem, to determine what can be done to help, and to provide you with a timeline for how long it may take. The initial assessment will involve learning about your past medical history, performing a thorough musculoskeletal examination, reviewing any diagnostic imaging/testing, and identifying your current and future goals.
Based on this initial assessment, we will develop a treatment plan together. It will center around a personalised home exercise program designed to address body areas that may need additional strength, mobility, and motor coordination. This program will be gradually progressed over time to optimize your recovery and to achieve your goals. Your treatment plan may also involve hands-on techniques, performed by your physiotherapist, to help with muscles and joints that are painful or not moving normally. This can include soft tissue release, joint mobilizations, and dry needling. These hands-on techniques can be especially helpful for patients who are experiencing significant pain or movement barriers that make exercise difficult.
Many extended health benefit plans cover Registered Physiotherapy. Please check your plan first. Registered Physiotherapy can be claimed as a medical expense. PLEASE NOTE: We do not assess or treat WSIB or Motor Vehicle Accident claims/clients.
