Came here for back pain and John, the physiotherapist here listened to my concerns and wasvery helpful in his treatment plans. I was referred to him through some colleagues and was not disappointed. He was able to provide some relief from my pain on the first visit and recommended some exercises and stretches I could do at home. He is very knowledgeable and expresses interest in expanding his scope of practice to include other treatments in the future. I will be coming back simply due to John and his excellent service.

What happens when you see a physiotherapist
Assessment
This determines the cause of the pain or problems presented.
An initial assessment will be done by a physiotherapist. This involves a detailed history taking, and then a physical test of Range of Motion, Strength, Flexibility, and a variety of other special tests (eg. reflexes, sensation, joint stability and ligament tests).
Personalized Treatment
Treatment always includes education about what is involved with your body
A treatment plan, including a diagnosis, goals for treatment, frequency of treatment, and prognosis, will be developed to determine the best treatment approach given the specific condition and your specific needs.
