Physiotherapy is an investment in your time, cost and effort. Quality care is important and you have a choice in your healthcare. Our focus is centred on spending hands-on individualized time with each client. We believe that our standard of care should offer:
TIME
Time is taken to listen and understand you and your story. You have time to ask and get answers to your questions.
ASSESSMENT
Time is also taken to thoroughly assess your function to determine the cause of your problem and how the condition or injury is affecting you.
COMMUNICATION
Communication of your treatment plan and expected outcome is important for you to understand so we can help you reach your goals.
INDEPENDENCE
We will help empower you to take control of your health and provide ways to self-manage your symptoms and progress your function.
We will help you with
- Understanding your injury and the stages of healing
- Managing expectations and helping you understand the injury and how it affects your function
- Recommendations for any additional health care providers to support you in your recovery
- Pain-management strategies
- Prevention of injuries (both now and in the future)
- Improving your physical function (strength, mobility, movement)
- Safely return to physical activities
