Four out of five Canadians experience at least one episode of low back pain (LBP) at some point in their life. Back pain and sciatica differ but are often confused with each other. Back is specific to the upper, middle or lower back. Sciatica is a more diffuse, radiating pain down the buttock, thigh, and even leg.
Neck pain can cause debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may even be needed. Your neck is an integral area of everyday movement, and sharp pains can prevent you from functioning properly in your day-to-day life.
Physiotherapy isn't normally someone's first thought when they have a headache - most of the time, the common reaction is to take some form of pain-relieving medication. This may help to relieve pain in the short-term, but if you are constantly suffering from headaches or migraines, pain relief drugs will not provide you with the same long-term effects that physiotherapy will.

I was at the timberlea location for massage, working as a nurse having chronic back pain. Sarah Dorey was fabulous! I felt super welcomed, and comfortable almost immediately, and my back feels much less tense after our session. Would 100% recommend, super friendly service, and great results. Thanks Nova physio

Make sure concussion patients that have back injuries keep booking Massage as they are confused and we weren’t allowed someone to come into the office with him. Also follow through with what you say. If you say you will check with physio to see if he should have massage call me back like you said you would and when asked why you didn’t call me back… don’t just say I don’t know! Frustrating to say the least and not good customer service. You will loss two patients if a negative experience happens again and word of mouth is the best advertising for your business.

Go see Alex Barrett today!
I was in a MVA a few years ago and had seen 3 different physio therapist before going to see Alex. He was the only one who was able to actually make my discomfort and muscle problems go away and give me treatment options that worked. Thanks to Alex's hard work and knowledge I was able to get back to my pre-accident state. I can't stress enough how after seeing so many other professionals, Alex was the one who was able to help me the most!

I have never written a review on any professional practice, but I have been so impressed with the folks at Nova Physiotherapy in Dartmouth that I felt compelled to do so. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave, their customer service is outstanding.
On arrival, you’re greeted warmly by Amanda. She is efficient, knowledgeable and strives to make you feel right at home.
I have suffered with chronic hip pain for 15 years and have seen physiotherapists in 3 different cities in which we have lived. Alex is without doubt the best physiotherapist I have ever seen. He is an attentive listener

Alex is a knowledgeable professional who is committed to helping clients meet their goals. As an athlete who has worked with many PTs/ATs, I can confidently say Alex is the superior choice for post-sport injury treatment. Amanda and the rest of the Nova team are kind, welcoming folks who provide exceptional services to their clients. 10/10 recommend!

I've gone to Nova Physiotherapy several times for a few different injuries and worked with Alex each time. I can't say enough good about the care I've received, from booking appointments through Amanda and right through my sessions. Alex is very knowledgable, explains things in a way that is easy to understand (for people without a science background), and makes you feel very comfortable during sessions. I would recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy. My daughter needed physio and when I brought her to Alex he was incredible with her. He directed questions at her instead of me which made

One of the best physiotherapy businesses in Halifax! Their excellent staff have truly helped me manage pain and recover from a recent injury. Alex especially showed incredible consideration and expertise as a physiotherapist going above and beyond with innovative and tailored pain management approaches. Marta and Yvonne are exceptional massage therapists who work seamlessly with the physiotherapists in delivering targeted therapy. From the moment I walked in they were the most professional and diligent treatment I have ever received.

I highly recommend Alex Barrett for any physiotherapy services. I went in for physio because I was experiencing knee pain while walking and running. Alex was very thorough with his assessment and was able to quickly diagnose the issue. He was very knowledgable and helpful explaining the cause of the pain and implementing a rehab program. Not only did Alex get me back to running but he educated me on technique and form to prevent any future injury. The entire experience was very positive and I am very confident in Alex's physiotherapy skills. Now I am pain free thanks to Alex's treatment!

Whether you have a cramp in your back, a pulled muscle or whether you require serious rehabilitation, Novaphysio is the place you should go!
I was referred to physio by my family physician because of a fall and pain to my right shoulder. There were many places to go when I looked in the yellow pages; however, a friend referred me to this Timberlea location.
The staff were incredibly friendly and I had the best experience I possible could have. I met with a physiotherapist by the name of Jeff and he actually listened to my situation and started working with me right away. I very much enjoyed
