Physiotherapy

Your body is made to move. Early action is critical to injury recovery because it helps decrease inflammation, which is your body’s natural response to injury. Even though inflammation is initially helpful in the healing process, long-lasting inflammation interferes with your muscles’ firing patterns and leads to instability.

Movement increases blood flow to the injured area, which reduces inflammation, to help restore a wider range of motion. As muscles resume a full range of motion, they’re better able to regain strength and return to normal function. Early, precise movement centered on customized exercises and stretches is what makes physiotherapy such an effective approach to promoting recovery and limiting long-term damage.

Before rehabilitation can get underway, you’ll have a consultation and comprehensive physical exam with our clinical director so we can understand your health history and gather information about your condition. This preliminary step may also include evaluating imagery and assessing your pain, depending on the nature of your injury.

Once the provider reaches a diagnosis, he or she will develop a customized program to meet your needs. There are three major components an efficient physiotherapy program may contain:

• Exercises: Balancing the strength and endurance of your muscles and increasing the mind-muscle connection helps your body to function in a coordinated, pain free manner.

• Stretches: Establishing good working length of your muscles prevents tightness and pulling sensations in addition to making work easier for the rest of your body.

• Passive Therapy: A variety of passive therapies are available to us which can help normalize connective tissue, relax tight muscles, stimulate blood flow, reduce swelling, and encourage healing.
