What to Expect
We begin with a consultation and assessment to determine the cause of your symptoms and the treatment program necessary to decrease pain and normalize function. With your goals in mind, we will design a rehabilitation program individualized to your needs.
We are committed to providing physiotherapy services that are tailored to you, allowing your total number of visits to be kept to a minimum.
If you are recovering from an accident, injury, illness, or operation, talk to your physician about rehabilitation. We can help you:
- relieve your pain,
- regain your strength and flexibility,
- increase your movement and mobility,
- stay active,
- prevent injury and return you to your busy life as quickly as possible.
On your first visit your physiotherapist reviews your injury or condition and plans a treatment program for you. This includes the following:
- You will be asked to fill out an information form regarding your present health status and present complaints.
- You will be asked questions about your present condition and health history by your physiotherapist.
- A physical examination is performed by a licensed physiotherapist to assess your injury or condition.
- Your physiotherapist reviews with you what was found during the assessment and discusses the recommended treatment goals and program.
- You agree or disagree to treatment before it starts.
- You will gain an understanding of your condition, how you can start to manage it, and a guideline as to how many visits your treatment may take.
How Long Will it Take
The initial assessment usually requires an hour to an hour and a half of your time depending on the problem area/condition/injury. Subsequent/follow-up visits usually require approximately 30 - 45 minutes to complete.
What to Bring
For the Initial Assessment, we recommend that you bring the following:
- your physician's name and number,
- a copy of your referral if you have been given one by your physician,
- the name of your insurer including policy numbers if applicable,
- list of current medications,
- the names and contact numbers of other healthcare professionals you may be consulting,
- t-shirt and shorts (clinic gowns and shorts are available), and running shoes may also be required.
