For your initial appointment, you can expect to meet with someone who will take the time to listen to you about your experience with your injury, how it is impacting you, and how you would like to be moving as your injury improves.

Your physiotherapist will then complete a thorough examination of the injury and the way it is impacting your movement.

The combination of your symptom history and our examination will allow to us to determine a diagnosis and collaborate with you on the best next steps to manage your injury.

Treatment will be tailored to your individual context. In the presence of pain and stiffness we use tools such as massage, manual therapy, and dry needling to improve local tissue functioning. We will often pair this with mobility exercises to ensure you are able to maintain this function between sessions. Exercise is a foundational treatment, and this will also typically include activation exercises and the progression onto strength exercises (ranging from body weight, to bands, to weights) to ensure once your body is pain free it can do what it needs to for your everyday activities.
