Each patient is individually assessed and evaluated to establish a diagnosis in order to design an appropriate treatment plan based upon the clinical findings. Regular re-evaluations and progress reports will provide our health care team with the required information to adapt the patient’s existing program and, when necessary, make the right referral to other health care professionals.

Every new patient in our clinics receives a thorough orthopedic assessment which is conducted by well-trained, registered physiotherapists. The assessment includes up-to-date examination techniques and equipment in order to establish a baseline measurement, provide a clinical diagnosis, develop a treatment program and suggest a prognosis for the sustained injury.

Regular re-examinations and progress reports are completed so that any necessary changes can be made to the existing treatment program.

The goals of this phase are to control pain, to maintain and improve range of movement and to promote tissue healing by reducing the inflammation process. Education regarding stages of soft tissue healing will also be provided.

Our philosophy is to introduce active gentle exercises as soon as possible to facilitate the maximal recovery. Regular re-assessment will be performed and interim reports will be forwarded to the related parties (referring doctors, insurance companies, legal professionals, etc.).

A treatment program will include:

•  State-of-the-art physical therapy modalities such as Heat, Ice, Laser, Ultrasound, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Interferential Current Therapy (IFC), Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), and Micro Current.
• Active & Passive Stretching Techniques.
• Progressive Active Strengthening Exercises.
