Physiotherapy is centred around personalized care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. A skilled physiotherapist tailors treatment plans to suit an individual’s unique condition, goals, and capabilities, focusing on musculoskeletal and other conditions and injuries.
All our physiotherapists excel in diagnosing and managing conditions within their unique skill sets. Key objectives typically include alleviating pain, enhancing function, and optimizing overall performance. These goals are pursued through comprehensive treatment plans that target a condition’s root cause using manual therapy, specific exercises, physical modalities, lifestyle adjustments, and patient education. When executed proficiently, physiotherapy significantly improves the patient’s well-being.
Here are some instances where physiotherapy has proven to help with physical and mental optimization:
Pain Management
Therapeutic techniques like soft tissue mobilization, acupuncture, dry needling and modalities such as TENS or IFC help alleviate pain for conditions like arthritis/joint pain, and muscle and ligament strains/sprains.
Surgical Avoidance

Initial Visit
You’ll have a private session with your physiotherapist during your initial visit to our clinic in Kanata. This comprehensive session involves several essential components. First, you’ll undergo a detailed discussion about your current health concerns, including your specific problem and overall health history. Following this, a thorough physical examination of the affected area will be conducted, supplemented by relevant physical tests to identify any contributing factors to your condition. Your current functional abilities and symptoms will be measured to establish a baseline for tracking progress. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals and commitment to the rehabilitation process.
Between Appointments
Your physiotherapist will provide detailed guidance on the actions you must take between appointments to optimize results.

Do you use equipment in physiotherapy?
In physiotherapy, a range of equipment may or may not be used to aid in treatment. These may include modalities like shockwave, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and acupuncture needles, which are frequently used to address various conditions. Additionally, exercise equipment plays a crucial role in facilitating the formulation of progressive exercise protocols tailored to individual needs and goals. Some equipment can include elbow and ankle braces, resistance bands, sports tape, foam rollers, compression wraps, and more.
What is the timeline for seeing results with physiotherapy for your injury?
Typically, patients experience notable improvement in their injury and functional abilities after 4 to 6 sessions with a physiotherapist. However, a longer duration may be required for more complex or longstanding issues to achieve substantial improvement.
Is resting recommended after a physiotherapy session?
Your physiotherapist will provide guidance on whether resting is advisable following your session, depending on its contents. For instance, if the session involves extensive exercise, your therapist may suggest taking it easy for the remainder of the day.
Is “physiotherapy” different from “physical” therapy?
The terms physiotherapy and physical therapy can be used interchangeably. The type or style of treatment varies based on the practitioner you see. Our licensed practitioners use a multi-faceted approach which can include the following; hands-on therapy techniques like soft tissue release, joint mobilizations, acupuncture, dry needling, education, and exercise prescription to improve muscle strength, coordination and balance. Each treatment technique is carefully chosen to meet your unique condition and goals.
What do I need to know before going to physiotherapy?
It’s important to clearly communicate your areas of concern and symptoms to your physiotherapist, including when they began and whether they’re associated with any particular activities. While physiotherapists employ various diagnostic methods, the details provided by the patient play a vital role in ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
