At AIM Physio & Wellness Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Kamna Verma frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Are you finding that persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady stops you from enjoying being able to carry their baby or toddler without straining their back or arms? Kamna Verma is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Rediscover your ability to playing actively and roughhousing with their young kids or grandkids without the constant burden of frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders. Kamna Verma focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio), integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of my child walking on their toes most of the time? Kamna Verma works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of more comfortable and efficient movement when transitioning between positions (e.g., sit to stand). This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting.
• It's truly rewarding for Kamna Verma to witness patients conquer aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk and experience moving more freely and with greater agility than they have in years. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in peacefully paddling their kayak or canoe on the lake for hours again.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Kamna Verma, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.
