Physiotherapy
Injury and/or chronic pain is much more than an inconvenience. It can negatively impact your overall quality of life and prevent you from doing the things you love. Thankfully, Physiotherapy can help.
Physical therapists are well known for their success in rehabilitation relating to sports injuries, work, and other accidents (i.e. motor vehicle, etc.). Physiotherapy can also assist in post-surgery recovery while managing pain and function for those with disabilities, leading to long term healthy living.

What You Can Expect From Physiotherapy
Orthopedic Assessment
This is where we gather information about an injury or chronic pain to develop a clinical impression of what the injury is. A full injury assessment will include:
Client History: Your therapist will ask a series of directed questions to develop a mechanism of injury and to get a general idea of what body part has been injured. General health care, medical history, work and/or sport related questions will also be included.
Visual Observation: Your therapist will observe you in a normal standing posture to gather visual cues about any defects, abnormalities, or malalignments of the structures involved. GAIT and biomechanical evaluations are done as required.
Physical Assessment: A hands-on assessment of the injured area. It involves a bilateral comparison to the uninjured side. Your therapist will use specifically designed tests to determine abnormalities or pathologies in muscles, tendon, ligaments, nerves, and bones.
