What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy Treatment | Max Physiotherapy | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage and Health & Wellness Clinic | NE Calgary

Simply put, Physiotherapy treatment helps people who are affected by injury, illness, over-use, or age-related changes through the use of movement and exercise, manual therapy, education, and health and wellness advice. Physiotherapists are highly trained medical professionals who specialize in restoring movement and physical function through various manual therapies, mechanical/electrical devices, and therapeutic exercise. A significant part of a physiotherapist’s job involves educating patients so they can properly perform home exercises, take an active role in their own recovery, and prevent further injury.

You can access physiotherapy without a doctor’s referral, and physiotherapists are a vital part of Max Physiotherapy’s multidisciplinary team. Our experienced Physiotherapists will incorporate a combination of the most up-to-date and effective therapies to ensure you receive the best treatment possible, specially tailored to get you better faster.

What to Expect at Your First
Physiotherapy Appointment?

All initial appointments at Max Physiotherapy begin with a thorough assessment of your condition. This involves a review of your medical history, as well as a neuromusculoskeletal physical examination. By discussing your medical history with you, we are able to verify your symptoms and better evaluate your condition in order to develop the most effective treatment plan.

Goals of the initial assessment are to:

  • Find the source of your pain/complaint, and determine the structures that are contributory
  • Produce a working diagnosis which will guide your plan of care
  • Develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the findings of the assessment and tailor it to build your individual goals and expectation

For your initial assessment, it is best to wear loose and comfortable clothing such as shorts and a tank top. This allows for freedom of movement, which in turn allows the therapist to accurately identify faulty mechanics.

To ensure further damage is not caused while waiting for muscles and bones to recover from injury, physiotherapy often relies on patience and refrained forms of treatment. Physiotherapists use a combination of various interventions to promote healing and ease pain. Electrotherapeutic agents such as ultrasound, TENS, Interferential, and NMES use sound waves or electrical current to reduce pain and muscle spasm, promote blood flow, and speed up the recovery process. Heat and cold are applied to decrease swelling and alleviate pain and restore mobility to tissues.

What is Involved in Max Physiotherapy’s
‘Hands-on’ Approach?

Hands-On Approach to Physiotherapy | Max Physiotherapy | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage and Health & Wellness Clinic | NE Calgary

Manual Therapy techniques are at the core of our “hands-on” approach and can include spinal and peripheral joint mobilization or manipulation. Manual therapy may also include massage, stretching, mobilization, or manipulation of soft tissue including muscle, tendon, ligament, and fascia. No physiotherapy treatment is complete without a personalized exercise program designed to restore strength, endurance, and flexibility of your tissues.

At Max Physiotherapy, we work hard to help our patients stay informed about their condition and treatment options. Our commitment to patient education is often the key element in your therapy success.
