New to Physiotherapy? This is how it works
Your well-being is our top priority. We are ready to help you regain strength and mobility with tailored plans designed just for you.
During your session, we want to make sure you feel comfortable asking all your questions. We will explain everything we are doing, the purpose of the assessment tests, and treatments. You can stop the assessment and/or treatment at any time and for any reason. At every step of the way, we will ask for your consent to proceed. We will take the time to listen to your concerns.
It is essential to evaluate the body part that requires care directly. For this reason, it is ideal that you bring comfortable clothing to your session (like shorts and a tank top). You can always refuse our requests to change clothes or adjust clothing. However, this may affect the assessment and treatment options available.
How we treat
There are many ways to reach any goal. It all depends on what we are treating, your specific health condition, and your preferences. We'd love to hear about what has worked for you in the past and what you are interested in trying. Together, we will explore all the options!
At Local Physiotherapy, we continually strive to expand our knowledge and improve the care we provide. These are some of the treatment modalities we use:
Manual therapy
It is a skilled, hands-on treatment approach to reduce pain, improve joint range of motion, and function. We use joint mobilization and manipulation, myofascial tissue release, craniosacral therapy, and visceral mobilization.
Acupuncture
It is a treatment that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to relieve muscle pain, joint stiffness, and inflammation. It promotes relaxation and stress relief. In physiotherapy, acupuncture is often used as part of a broader treatment plan.
Dry Needling
It involves inserting a very fine, sterile needle into tight or sensitive spots within a muscle - trigger points - to help it relax, relieve pain, and restore normal function.
Cupping Therapy
It is a gentle treatment that uses special silicone cups placed on the skin to create light suction. It helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing in the underlying tissues.
Kinesiology Tape
It is a tape made of cotton that is applied to the skin to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and help your body move more comfortably without limiting motion. It can also be used to improve blood and lymphatic flow, helping reduce swelling and inflammation. It allows you to stay active while healing.
Electrical Modalities
These treatments utilize gentle electrical stimulation to help your body relax tight muscles, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. It is used as part of a physiotherapy session to support recovery.
Exercise Therapy
It is a key part of your physiotherapy treatment plan that uses targeted, guided movement to help you recover from injury, reduce pain, improve strength, flexibility, and balance. Each exercise program is custom-designed to meet your individual needs and goals for long-lasting results.
