Why consult a physiotherapist?<\/h2>\n

The role of the physiotherapist ranges from prevention to rehabilitation. He can accompany you before, during or after a problem that affects your quality of life, such as back<\/a>, neck<\/a> or shoulder pain<\/a>, numbness<\/a>, headache<\/a>, leg pain<\/a>, knee pain<\/a> or ankle<\/a>, dizziness<\/a>, jaw pain<\/a>, etc. If you are awaiting surgery, a physiotherapist will help you relieve pain and optimize your physical condition to allow you a better recovery after surgery.<\/p>\n

You don't have to be injured or sick to consult! Your physiotherapist can also evaluate you preventively in order to optimize your physical condition to prevent injuries. It can also accompany you in a new or long-standing sports practice if you want to improve your performance.<\/p>\n

DID
\nYOU
\nKNOW?<\/i><\/span>You do not need a medical referral to consult in physiotherapy. Physiotherapists work on the front line, which means you can book an appointment directly with them. If ever your condition requires medical advice, your physiotherapist will direct you to the right resource.<\/div>\n

What are the benefits of physiotherapy?<\/h2>\n

The treatments, exercises and advice from your physiotherapist are primarily intended to relieve your symptoms and allow you to resume your daily, professional, sports and leisure activities as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

By improving your physical abilities such as mobility, flexibility, strength and balance, physiotherapy helps you return to normal. Not only can treatments lessen or eliminate pain, they can reduce the need for medication or even save you from certain surgeries.<\/p>\n

Overall, your physiotherapist helps you bring about a lasting change in your daily life so that you can carry out all your activities.<\/p>\n

What are the treatments used in physiotherapy?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Different treatments can be used by a physiotherapist, such as manual techniques (joint mobilizations, muscle relaxation, etc.), taping (adhesive tape that can be used, among other things, to support a joint), electrotherapy (ultrasound, electrical stimulation , etc.), thermotherapy (ice or heat) and exercises. Some physiotherapists have advanced training in the treatment of vertigo and dizziness, jaw pain and dysfunction, pelvic problems, venous insufficiency and lymphedema. They can also offer support during pregnancy and rehabilitation for children.<\/p>\n

What does a physiotherapy session entail?<\/b><\/h2>\n

From the first appointment, the physiotherapist will assess your condition, establish a physiotherapy diagnosis and propose a treatment plan adapted to your needs. It will be based on a health report that will be sent to you before the first appointment and on a clinical evaluation.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the meeting, your physiotherapist will ask you questions in order to fully understand your problem, your symptoms and your objectives. Then, he will perform various physical tests to assess, for example, the amplitude and quality of your movements, muscle strength, flexibility, motor control, mobility of your nerves, etc.<\/p>\n

After this assessment, your physiotherapist will explain the origin of the problem and the cause of your symptoms. He will discuss with you a treatment plan that includes, most of the time, clinic sessions and exercises to be done at home. He will give you advice to apply in your daily life and will teach you exercises to improve your condition, in line with your goals (such as reduce pain or improve your performance).<\/p>\n
