Physiotherapy helps through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness. Physiotherapists get you involved in your recovery.

Physiotherapy-OPRC

Physiotherapists have in-depth knowledge of how the body works and specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat symptoms of illness, injury and disability.

Physiotherapy includes treatment of injury rehabilitation, as well as prevention of injury, and promotion of health and fitness.

Physiotherapists often work in teams with other health professionals to help meet an individual's healthcare needs.

Some of the range of physiotherapy techniques used are manual therapies, joint manipulation, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation services, and massage therapy.

Our registered physiotherapists are experts in movement and function who work in partnership with their patients.

A physiotherapist can also help prevent further injury by listening to patients' needs and expectations and working together to plan the most appropriate treatment for any individual condition, including setting goals and creating an integrated approach for treatment outcomes.

What To Expect on Your First Visit

Your first appointment will start with an initial assessment. You will be asked many detailed questions about your pain or injury and what are your goals for treatment.

Next, your practitioner will do several physical tests to determine things such as your:

 

  • Range of Motion (mobility and flexibility)
  • Strength
  • Ligament and Joint stability
  • Reflexes, Sensation
  • Nerve Tests
  • Swelling
  • Palpation (which specific ligaments, bones, joints, and tendons are tender to touch)

These tests are designed to help your physiotherapist diagnose your pain or injury, and then determine the best treatment plan for your condition.

Physiotherapy OPRC

 

Your treatment will be based on your diagnosis. We at OPRC consider education one of the most important aspects of therapy and will provide you with information about your condition and its management.
