Do you know that orthopedic physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries? It involves the diagnosis and management of orthopedic problems, including fractures, joint replacements, sprains, strains, and post-operative rehabilitation.
Professional orthopedic physiotherapists use various techniques, modalities, and assistive devices to greatly improve patient’s mobility and balance, reduce pain, and restore optimal function.
Pacific Physiotherapy’s clinicians have extensive knowledge and experience in chronic injury assessment, rehabilitation, and prevention. To help even the most severely injured patients recover as quickly as possible, we employ evidence-based methods and cutting-edge rehabilitation technology.
In general, there are two categories of treatment modalities – active and passive modalities.
During your first orthopedic physiotherapy session at Pacific Physiotherapy, you can expect a thorough evaluation of your condition and medical history. The physiotherapist will assess your range of motion, strength, and functional abilities. We’ll discuss treatment goals, educate you about your condition, and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Orthopedic physiotherapy is generally considered safe with minimal side effects. However, in some cases, you may experience temporary soreness, mild muscle stiffness, or fatigue following the treatment session. Rarely, there may be a risk of aggravating symptoms or experiencing temporary increased pain.
Orthopedic physiotherapy for children focuses on diagnosing, treating/managing, and rehabilitating musculoskeletal diseases and injuries. Children who have undergone surgery and require rehabilitation can benefit from this modality (regain mobility, strength, function, manage pain, and promote healthy growth and development).
Every patient we treat is unique, with their individual set of concerns, routines, and aspirations. We believe that there’s no single magical potion that works for every problem. Each patient who walks through our doors will receive individualized care from our friendly and professional staff.
