At Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Nicole Wooden frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Many patients have found lasting relief from knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run and achieved waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness under the skilled care of Nicole Wooden. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter with a new lease on life.
  • If feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems is preventing you from fully enjoying playing a full game of recreational hockey with their friends, Nicole Wooden offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio), often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
  • With Nicole Wooden's help, managing recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) to achieve feeling more energetic and less weighed down by physical discomfort becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like participating in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises.
