What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a form of therapeutic care that focuses on alleviating pain, strengthening the body, and improving the overall health of patients. Treatment is provided by a thoroughly trained and provincially registered physiotherapist. Physiotherapists are trained professionals who study the science of movement and how to pinpoint the root causes of sustained injuries. Our physiotherapist, Nalin Fernando, is registered with the College of Physiotherapists Alberta and obtained additional authorizations for dry needling, imaging requisition, and spinal manipulation.
What to Expect in your Physiotherapy Appointment
All physiotherapy patients will undergo an initial assessment before treatment.
You will be asked to share information about your health, such as any injury or surgery, medical history, and family health history.
The first visit will take longer than following visits, because a physical assessment will be conducted based on the reason for your visit. The assessment might include posture, range of motion, reflexes, and other orthopedic and neurologic tests.
Following the physical assessment, we will talk with you about your diagnosis and outline a treatment plan.
If you have any questions about anything during your treatment, always ask.
