Portage Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic

Portage Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic first opened its doors on May 5th, 1995 at the original location on River Road across from Arthur Meighen School. Humbly beginning as a 3 bed, one Physiotherapist, one receptionist clinic, the focus then and still today is to provide excellent quality physiotherapy services while promoting client independence in an atmosphere of genuine care, interest, and respect. 

In November, 2004 Portage Physiotherapy moved to its existing and larger location at 57 Royal Road North, beside the new Portage Clinic Satellite Office. In keeping with its teamwork approach to care, the staff has grown over the years to include 4 physiotherapists, 1 kinesiologist, 1 office manager, and 3 physiotherapy aides/receptionists. The new location has been designed specifically to optimize the patient experience and consists of 13 treatment rooms and a 600 square feet gym area in a spacious (2600 sq. ft), relaxing, and professional environment.

Should I ice or heat after an injury?

Ice is used immediately after acute injuries within the first 48 hrs to reduce pain & muscle spasm, slow bleeding and minimize swelling. Apply ice for 10 to 15 minutes every 1 to 2 hours (use caution since skin can freeze).

Heat treatments may be started 48 hours after injury when there is minimal or no swelling. Heat reduces pain, decreases muscle spasm, increases blood flow and improves flexibility. Apply heat for 15 - 20 minutes several times per day, use caution to avoid burns, and never apply heat while you are sleeping.

What is the appropriate initial treatment for someone with an acute sports injury?

The acronym PRICE is used to describe the initial care:  

P = PROTECTION from further injury with the use of crutches, taping or bracing 

R = REST from further activity of the injured part, but not complete immobilization 

I = ICE to decrease pain and inflammation 

C = COMPRESSION to minimize swelling 

E = ELEVATION to minimize swelling
