FAQs
What distinguishes physiotherapy at Expert Physio Plus?
At Expert Physio Plus, we believe in creating individualized treatment plans for every patient. When you visit our clinic, we will administer a set of tests to determine the cause of your injury or functional difficulties.
Your physiotherapist may ask about your medical history and may request that you perform specific movements or tests so that they can assess the quality of your movement patterns and identify any problems firsthand.
Your therapist will then tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs. Joint mobilization exercises, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise are examples of such methods.
Are physiotherapy treatments painful?
Physiotherapy is intended to relieve pain rather than aggravate it. Your pain levels, however, may fluctuate. Our therapists will clearly define what constitutes "normal" pain and what does not. To facilitate improvements in your overall condition, some situations necessitate exercises or actions that can elicit a pain response.
You may experience some discomfort as a result of using weakened or recovering muscles. Alternatively, due to the nature of the condition, restoring range of motion after surgery can be painful for some. Unfortunately, experiencing a temporary increase in pain may be critical to your recovery. Although it may seem counterintuitive, there are times when increased pain early on can prevent more severe pain later on.
Rest assured that we will do everything possible to reduce your pain and prevent it from worsening during your physiotherapy session. Communication with our therapist will aid in the reduction of any discomfort you may experience during your physiotherapy treatments.
We want you to be pain-free and back to your normal activities as soon as possible, and we will do everything we can to prepare you for any discomfort.
Can I continue with therapy after my pain has subsided?
Yes, once you have completed your therapy sessions, your therapist will provide you with an at-home continuing therapy program. We can also schedule follow-up assessments to ensure that you are still doing well and to address any new issues that have arisen.
In addition, we will work with you to determine whether any equipment or supplies (such as bands, weights, etc.) would be beneficial to your recovery.
Can I benefit from physiotherapy treatments?
You most certainly can!
Physiotherapists are experts at evaluating the whole person. This means that we seek to identify all of the factors associated with your condition. We understand the body's interconnectedness and how a problem in one area may be a symptom pointing to the source of the situation in another.
We are also adept at determining whether you are dealing with one problem or several issues affecting you and your function.
Everyone can benefit from physiotherapy, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing you need. We believe in collaborating with other healthcare professionals and working with you while another practitioner assists you in getting the results you deserve.
We can discuss your options and help you decide if physiotherapy is right for you. Contact us today to learn more about how PT can help you and make an appointment with one of our dedicated staff members.
