About Wadden Physiotherapy
Wadden Physiotherapy and Sport Performance is a private practice physiotherapy clinic located in Membertou, NS. We have extensive experience in treating orthopaedic, MVA, WCB and sports injury patients. We want to provide the quality, individualized care people want and need to achieve their goals – whether that’s gardening, playing sports, working or playing with their children or grandchildren.
We want to provide the same care to our patients that we would want our families to receive. We are passionate about what we do and offer a personable and positive environment for our patients. We want to empower them to take an active role in their recovery. We believe that physiotherapy is not something that is “done to you”, but should be a collaborative effort with the patient.

Our Care Priorities
Pain Management
We will help you manage your symptoms through hands on care, exercise and a variety of treatment modalities. We focus on education so that you understand what is causing your symptoms, your treatment plan and what you can do to perform the daily activities that are important to you.
Improve Mobility
Pain and injury can make everyday movements very difficult to do. This often leads to altered movement patterns and restrictions in range of motion. We will help you restore or improve your mobility and return to the activities you enjoy.
Increase Strength
As your pain level and mobility improve, it is essential that focus on improving strength and your overall function. We want to educate you on how to make your body more resilient to reduce the risk of injury recurrence and improve your overall level of performance.
