Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on restoring movement and function to people affected by injury, illness or disability. It can help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and increase strength and flexibility.
Physiotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions including sports injuries, workplace injuries, chronic pain, arthritis, neurological disorders, and many others.
A typical physiotherapy session can last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type and severity of the injury.
Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, with the aim of reducing tension, pain and discomfort. It can complement physiotherapy by helping to improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote relaxation.
The clinic offers a variety of massage therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage, sports massage, and pregnancy massage.
Kinesiology is the study of human movement and how it relates to health and wellness. While physiotherapy focuses on the treatment of injury and illness, kinesiology focuses on preventing them through exercise and physical activity.
The kinesiology department offers a variety of services including fitness assessments, exercise prescription, injury prevention programs, and group fitness classes.
The number of sessions required will depend on the type and severity of the injury. A physiotherapist or massage therapist will be able to provide an estimate of the number of sessions required after a thorough assessment.
While a referral from a doctor is not required, it can be helpful in some cases, especially if the injury or condition is complex.
Many extended health insurance plans cover physiotherapy, massage therapy and kinesiology services. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider to determine the extent of your coverage.
