Techniques Used by Your Gage Physio Hamilton Mountain Therapist

Our highly-trained team employs a variety of targeted hands-on techniques, ensuring your treatment is specific to your body’s needs:

Joint Mobilization

Gentle, rhythmic movements applied to a stiff joint (spine, shoulder, hip, etc.) to lubricate the joint surfaces, increase flexibility, and reduce nerve irritability.

Joint Manipulation

A quick, precise, low-amplitude movement often used to release a significantly restricted joint, restoring instant mobility.

Soft Tissue Mobilization (Specialized Massage)

Deep, therapeutic pressure applied to muscles, tendons, and ligaments to break up scar tissue, relax chronic tension, and improve blood flow for healing.

Myofascial Release

Focusing on the fascial connective tissue that wraps muscles, this technique releases systemic tension and restrictions that can contribute to pain far from the original site.

Trigger Point Therapy

Applying direct pressure to hypersensitive "knots" in muscles to deactivate them and resolve referred pain patterns.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashima is absolutely amazing!!! I've been going here since my 6th month of pregnancy (currently in the 9th month) and she has really helped me with my pelvic and back pain. She's also excellent at providing support and excerises to assist with birth and postpartum. I would highly recommend seeing Ashima if you're pregnant. She's a lifesaver!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nupur Dave is brilliant! She’s an absolute miracle worker. I presented to her with deep tissue pain in the arms and shoulders which rendered them immobile. In only 2 sessions, she was able to provide significant relief to those areas through the use of her expertise and equipment which returned my mobility to vast improvement. Her extensive education and employment history worldwide deems her as top notch. It is for those reasons I have recovered so quickly. She explains step-by-step the reason for every technique she is about to use which is so important. As she’s working on relieving your pain, she checks with you throughout the procedure to ensure you’re comfortable with the amount of pressure that’s being applied. I highly recommend Nupur Dave to everyone that is having mobility and body discomfort issues. You will be eternally grateful that you were treated by her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashima was wonderful! I came in for a running injury and she gave me useful advice, exercises, stretches to get me back on my feet within a few weeks. She also used the tens machine, massage, acupuncture and ultrasound machines to help with the inflammation. When I had difficulty scheduling appointments because of family obligations, she booked me outside of work hours and allowed me to bring my child with me. It was wonderful talking with her and working with her. I will definitely use her services again in the future and will recommend her to others!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Ashima and Gage Physiotherapy highly enough. After struggling with limited hip mobility, she helped me regain my range of motion through expert treatment and guidance. What sets Ashima apart is her combination of deep knowledge and genuine warmth. She’s kind, funny, and makes each session comfortable while staying focused on results.

Ashima takes the time to thoroughly explain both the treatments and exercises, ensuring I understand not just what to do, but why. It’s clear she truly cares about her patients’ wellbeing and is committed to helping us become independent in managing our own health. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I feel so much better and more confident in my recovery.
