What does a Physiotherapist do?
A physiotherapist is well-trained at assessing injuries to the muscles and joints of the body, including muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendon tears, and chronic repetitive injuries. Physiotherapy can also be key in reducing healing time and easing the acute symptoms caused by whiplash injuries, surgery, slip and fall accidents, sports injuries, and other disruptions in mobility.
Improve strength and stability. Move without pain.

What to expect during a Physiotherapy appointment
During your Initial Assessment appointment, your Physiotherapist will ask questions about your health history and current injury, daily activities, and treatment goals. They will assess your range of motion, strength, and mobility and perform special testing as needed to determine the cause of your pain. Patients will have their practitioner’s undivided attention for their entire session.Your physiotherapist will work with you to determine the best treatment plan that can include manual therapy, soft-tissue release, remedial exercise therapy, kinesiotaping, mobility work, stretching, strengthening, home care and prevention techniques.
How many Physio sessions will I need?
A physiotherapy treatment plan usually consists of regular sessions of one-on-one care and a progressive rehab program of exercises done at home in between. You can expect to see a Physiotherapist once or twice a week during the acute stage of care, with treatments less frequently once symptoms starts to reduce and strength/mobility improve, usually over the course of one or two months.
