What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapists are regulated healthcare professionals that can work independently or within a collaborative health care setting like Creekside Health! Physiotherapy uses a patient-centered approach, and evidence-informed healthcare, to treat a variety of injuries, chronic pains, and movement disorders. Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages and with a variety of injuries and health conditions in order to assist patients in reaching their goals.

Physiotherapy Assessment

A physiotherapy assessment will include a thorough history-taking to better understand the current complaint/injury and previous injuries that may be contributing to the current issue. The history-taking will also help the physiotherapist understand your lifestyle- including work, activities, hobbies, and social setting- that can impact and influence your experience of your injury and your rehabilitation process. The assessment will then continue with observations of posture, and specific tests and measurements. The physiotherapist will use the objective findings, along with the patient's history, to clinically reason and provide a diagnosis of the injury.

Physiotherapy Treatment 

Physiotherapy treatment will include a variety of different treatment techniques that will best suit your needs, goals, and injury presentation. Treatment techniques that may be included are: functional dry needling, soft tissue techniques, joint mobilizations, and taping. Personalized exercise programs and education are a key part of rehabilitation and are used in most treatment sessions.
