1. What should I expect from physiotherapy?

​

When you arrive our friendly receptionists will greet you and ask you to fill out some forms to allow us to know how we can help you best. You will be greeted by your physiotherapist and shown to a room where the 1 on 1 consultation will begin. We will go through your main concerns and history followed by a global physical examination. Treatment along with exercise normally follows and at the then, we will go through some goals that you may have, when to expect to reach them and how long it will take for that process. Normally a report of findings are generated and individualized just for you to understand what your body is going through better. The first consultation lasts for up to an hour.

​

2. Will I have to undress?

​

Not if you don't want to! For the purposes of the exam, you may have to undress various parts of clothing but never more than outer layers. This isn't a hard and fast rule, and if you're uncomfortable we can always work around that!

3. What does treatment involve?

Physiotherapy is a movement and medical based science and treatment will generally involve hands-on orthopedic manual therapy (treatment with our hands) along with exercise prescription, and general health advice. Braces and orthotics can also be recommended or ordered. If necessary, taping, heat, cold and other types of therapy can be used. The best way is working out what you're comfortable with.
