| Hands on treatment
Our treatment approach involves hands on treatment combined to a comprehensive exercise program. Numerous studies have confirmed the importance of active exercise as a key component of successful recovery from orthopedic injuries.
On your Initial assessment, a complete musculoskeletal examination will be performed and a clinical diagnosis will be established to identify the nature of your condition.
Based on this assessment a specific Physiotherapy treatment will be initiated. This can include manual therapy or joints mobilizations performed to alleviate pain and restore movement where this has been lost following the injury.
Other modalities used include ultrasound, laser or acupuncture. These modalities are used locally at the area of injury to either decrease pain or inflammation or assist in proper tissue healing.
Specific exercises will be prescribed to assist in movement recovery and strengthening. The principle is to assist and accelerate recovery of your function by working at this between treatment sessions and by supporting the injury.( See exercise approach) |
