Our Values: Science-Based, Holistic, Prevention, Client-Centred

Background

When it comes to good health, it’s about the quality of the years we live, not the number. At TCM physio, our goal is to rehabilitate injuries so our clients can return and flourish in their everyday life, recreation, or sport!

We do this by combining the advancements of Western medicine around musculoskeletal therapy with the historical and holistic approaches developed with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

By combining these two fields, our clients benefit from a rehabilitation approach that merges diverse scientific advancements in knowledge to aid in accelerated recovery, improved health, and future prevention.

A Combined Approach: Traditional Chinese Medicine & Western Medicine

Western Medicine has made outstanding scientific advancements leading to efficient ways to examine the body, identify related symptoms, and use this knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis.

After identifying a specific affected area of the body (injury or illness), Western Medical approaches prescribe treatments that directly address that area and its symptoms.

However, Western Medicine often fails to consider what caused that injury in the first place. However, traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at the entire body in relation to a specific injury (or illness). Therefore, TCM takes a holistic approach to restoring balance across the body to address the injury, its symptoms, and the initial conditions that led to the injury.

The TCM holistic approach uses techniques like herbal medicine (natural restorations), cupping (increase blood flow), acupuncture (engage sensory nerves), and massage (soft tissue manipulation) together to restore balance in the body to prevent future injury.

Our philosophy combines the advancements of Western Medicine with the holistic treatments of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Drawing on the scientific evidence of Western Medicine, we use a systematic approach to diagnosis by analysing the structure and function of the body and symptoms.

After diagnosing, we develop a rehabilitation plan using Western approaches and TCM techniques. By combining these two approaches, we actively heal the affected area of the body and relieve the symptoms of the injury, all while restoring holistic balance to prevent future injuries. This approach not only treats the injury but helps improve the quality of life for our clients.
