What Does the Physiotherapist Do?
Your personal physical therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation including a postural and biomechanical assessment of functional limitations in an effort to diagnose your problem. Our physiotherapist will design a treatment plan based on your needs and goals, specific to your illness, injury or disability. We take a team approach and will consult with your employer and case manager, if necessary.
What Happens During a Physiotherapy Session?
Your treatment plan will vary depending upon your injury, pain or discomfort. Physiotherapy treatments include:
- Manual Therapy
- Soft tissue release
- Exercise Prescription
- Modalities – Ultrasound, Interferential Current, TENS

We focus on prevention and rehabilitation, so that you can return as quickly as possible to a state of health and wellness.
