Dear valued clients,
At this time, we are not accepting new patients for in-clinic care. We will resume booking for June assessments in mid-May. There is no delay for in-community care and we are doing everything we can to alleviate any backlog in assessments and continue to see all patients on a first come, first served basis.
Welcome!
Our family oriented clinic in the south end of Barrie will help you get back to function faster. We address the cause of the problem not just the symptoms. We integrate physiotherapy and massage therapy into your treatment plan to provide complete care under one roof.
Our primary mission is to provide client centered care with honesty and integrity.

Our Vision
The aim of Holly Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is to:
Our Core Values
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that addresses physical injuries and diseases through various assessment, treatment and prevention approaches. Physiotherapists employ a range of specialized techniques, skills and anatomical knowledge to address a person’s impairments and dysfunctions and maximize function and potential.
Some techniques and approaches include manual therapy, modalities, acupuncture and exercise prescription. Prevention strategies are provided including education, exercise, and improving ergonomic efficiency to prevent a return to the clinic.
Physiotherapy is provided by a university trained physiotherapist who is licensed and regulated by the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario.
Registered Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissue, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to provide pain relief, increased joint range of motion and flexibility, increased relaxation and decreased stress.
Massage therapy is an effective rehabilitation option for all ages. Massage therapy can successfully treat musculoskeletal impairments, chronic pain syndromes and occupational and emotional stressors.
Registered massage therapists are regulated health professionals and are members of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
Home Care Physiotherapy
Home care physiotherapy involves services provided by a registered physiotherapist in the comfort of your home, retirement home or long term care facility. Our home care offers the patient the same quality and effective treatment that would be provided in the clinic. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association reports an increasing need for home physiotherapy.
We will complete an in-home assessment and work with your goals to get you feeling and functioning better with education, exercise, functional training and prescription of mobility aids. The improved strength and mobility gained by patients receiving home care physiotherapy results in improved function and quality of life.
We treat a wide range of conditions with our home care physiotherapy including but not limited to stroke, parkinson’s disease, breathing conditions, osteoporosis, pre or post surgery or hospitalization, osteoarthritis, balance and posture deficits or general functional decline.
Sports Injury
Sports therapy specifically deals with musculoskeletal injuries sustained while participating in a sport. This includes everyone from weekend warriors to the high level professional athlete.
Therapy can consist of, but is not restricted to: rehabilitating the injury, injury prevention, sport specific training programs, education, flexibility and stability conditioning programs, bracing and taping.
Constant communication with trainers and coaches allows the athlete to return in a safe and timely manner.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to medications or even surgery.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and tissues at specific points on the body. The treatment itself causes minimal discomfort. Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called ‘endorphins’. These chemicals mimic morphine by attaching to opiate receptor sites found throughout the nervous system. Endorphins help to block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the brain, resulting in relief of pain, general relaxation and biochemical restoration of the body’s own internal regulation systems.
FITforeGOLF™
FITforeGOLF™ is a golf research program based on the most up-to-date scientific research to help assess, recognize and treat golf injuries. The programs are designed specifically for golfers. The treatment will incorporate exercises to help keep you injury free by specifically training your golf muscles. This state-of-the-art approach to golf health and performance is designed to help the golfer play with maximum comfort and efficiency.
A certified FITforeGOLf™ therapist has undergone extensive training on the biomechanics of the golf swing, how certain swing flaws or physical restrictions can create abnormal swing mechanics and how to treat or prevent those restrictions using a golf-specific approach based on the evidence based research.
Come see our certified FITforeGOLF™ physiotherapist to help you achieve your full potential.
Bone Fit™
Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to break more easily. It occurs in both men and women and risk increases with age. The BoneFit program was designed by Osteoporosis Canada with an advisory committee of researchers, physicians and allied health professionals. The goal of this program is to reduce fracture risk, other complications and mortality associated with osteoporosis.
BoneFit is aimed both at prevention and management of osteoporosis. It focuses on the most appropriate, safe and effective way to prescribe and progress exercise for people with osteoporosis. Staying active with the right type of exercise can help maintain good posture, improve spinal strength and prevent fractures. The BoneFit program also teaches people with osteoporosis safe ways to move to help prevent injury.
PWR! Moves™
Parkinson’s Disease is the second most common neurodegenerative condition after Alzheimer’s Disease. It is estimated that the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease will double by 2040. This disease causes loss of dopamine neurons in the brain resulting in many motor and non motor symptoms.
PWR!Moves is a Parkinson’s disease specific, neuroplasticity principled exercise program based on the latest research in Parkinson’s rehabilitation. The program focuses on high amplitude, functional movement training to combat slow movement, freezing, stiffness and impaired balance. Typically, physiotherapists receive referrals for people with Parkinson’s once they have already started falling, had an injury or require a gait aid. Our goal is to also see people at diagnosis to get them started on the best exercise program for them to help manage the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s and promote a lifelong commitment to exercise. We want to help change the image and stigma surrounding Parkinson’s disease and keep people actively participating in their lives.
What to Expect
The initial visit involves a thorough subjective and objective assessment consisting of questions, a review of your medical history, a biomechanical analysis and special tests to determine the problem and root cause of your pain.
Please click ConsentForm to access intake form.
An individualized treatment plan will be designed to address the problem, the cause and to prevent the occurrence of a re-injury, allowing the individual to return to their previous activity level. Specific client centered goals are tailored to help an individual achieve their maximum potential. Treatment will be provided at the time of the initial visit. Please expect to stay approximately 45 minutes for the initial assessment. Subsequent sessions are usually 45 min to an hour long.
Scheduling can become busy at times for an initial appointment. Please call the office at the time of injury, fracture, surgery booking or casting so we can secure an initial appointment time in advance of the specialist’s clearance to begin treatment.
Treatment may include: manual therapy (hand-on) techniques to improve joint and soft tissue mobility, stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and stability, modality and acupuncture application to decrease inflammation and pain and ongoing education to address ergonomics, body mechanics, a return to activity to ultimately prevent a re-injury.
Our healthcare team at Holly Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation are in constant communication to provide you the best care and maximize the outcome.
