FAQ

The goal of physiotherapy is to attain a rapid, safe, and lasting return to a high-functioning, pain- manageable life. In some cases, a physiotherapist or PT can be part of your first-line of care. Or, sometimes, you may be prescribed physical therapy (or rehabilitation) after a surgery.
Simply put, physiotherapy uses a variety of evidenced based medical techniques to treat musculoskeletal issues. This can be  physical impairments, injuries, chronic pain, or limited mobility that affect muscles or joints. PT can also be used to treat balance and other vestibular disorders. Your rehab plan or Plan of Care consists of a licensed physiotherapist assessing your unique condition and prescribing treatment.

We recommend wearing comfortable and/or loose clothes that make it easy for you to move around, just like when you go to the gym or a walk/run in your neighborhood. Tennis or athletic shoes are ideal. Layers or a change of clothes may be ideal for access to particular areas for manual therapy.

Due to some of the diagnostic tests and baseline measurements taken during the initial assessment, you may experience temporary and minimal muscle soreness, pain, irritation, or discomfort. If you have high pain levels, you should communicate with your therapist right away. We will be able to guide you best to relieve your pain.

  • On average, you can expect 10-12 visits. Typically, this is once or twice a week early on, tapering down to once or every other week until discharge.
  • For Post-Operative (major surgery) Injuries, it all depends on the severity of the injury or surgery and could be anywhere from 3-6 months.

Upon discharge, you will receive a home exercise program to further enhance your rehabilitation outcome and prevent the possibility of future re-injury. You also have the option to participate in our Wellness Program.
