Orthopedic and sports physiotherapy is for anyone who experiences a problem with their neuromusculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, ligaments and nerves). It also addresses athletes of all levels that have experienced a trauma or have a stress injury.
Our integrated approach incorporates manual orthopedic therapy, muscular control as well as prescribed exercises. When needed, therapeutic modalities such as muscular simulation or ultrasound is used.
Our interventions are based on clinical reasoning and scientific evidence. To make this possible, our physiotherapists are constantly developing their expertise in order to perfect their techniques and to acquire new ones. They have as a duty to know and stay informed of the latest scientific evidence in their domains of practice in order to provide their patients with the best available treatments for their health problems.
We also offer running assessments as well as pre-season preventative assessments of cerebral concussions and the monitoring of cerebral concussions. When consulting for a new issue, the first session is dedicated to the evaluation of the condition. Depending on the complexity of the problem, treatment can start immediately. The treatment’s plan is discussed with the patient during the evaluation, which includes establishing subsequent treatment frequency and methods of approach.
