Physiotherapy is a health discipline that deals with evaluations and
treatments of musculo-squeletal conditions: bones, muscles, ligaments
and joints.
Our physiotherapists use techniques to improve the joints movements,
the muscular strength, the coordination and even balance. Our team of
therapists always takes the time to do a thorough evaluation upon
first consultation and then start a treatment that is discussed with
you and adapted to your problem and specific needs.
You deserve the best service and care and that is why we work
differently than other clinics. The therapist will spend the entire
time of the session with you in a private office which will permit
confidentiality and the best possible care.
Our concept is also to have a follow up done after your sessions with
us. After your problem is dealt with in the best possible way, and
that you leave the clinic feeling much better, we will follow up with
you to make sure that the home program given to you by the therapist
is helping and that you have no difficulty doing it. A home program
after physiotherapy treatments is very important for prevention and to
avoid recurrences.
In our physiotherapy department, we use different techniques, such as:
the conventional approach with the modalities such as ice, heat,
ultrasound, tens machine and interferential machine. All our
therapists will use hands on techniques, also called manual techniques
or therapy and some osteopathic techniques. We also have therapists
specializing in postural techniques or postural re-education that is
very helpful to a majority of our patients. Of course, we also show
and explain to you different exercises for increasing movement at the
joints and improving strength, coordination and balance.
The length of time for the first consultation is usually one hour,
which includes an evaluation and a beginning of a treatment. The
subsequent sessions in physiotherapy can be 30 minutes or 1 hour in
length depending on the therapist’s findings and yourself.
