Physiotherapy aims to reduce pain, increase strength and range of motion, and improve overall physical well-being. 

During a physiotherapy session, a therapist will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan that may include exercises, stretches, manual therapy techniques and modalities such as heat or ice therapy, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound.

These interventions are designed to help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve muscle strength and flexibility, and restore normal movement patterns. By working with a physiotherapist, you can learn how to manage your condition, prevent further injury, and achieve your physical goals, whether that be returning to sports or simply everyday activities.

• Alleviates pain and discomfort
• Improves mobility and flexibility
• Restores physical function and strength
• Aids in the recovery process after injury or surgery
• Reduces the risk of future injuries
• Enhances balance and coordination
• Promotes overall well-being and quality of life
• Provides education and guidance on proper body mechanics and injury prevention
• Non-invasive alternative to medication or surgery for some cases
• Helps manage chronic conditions

• Shoulder injuries: such as shoulder tendonitis, shoulder instability/dislocation, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tear, shoulder impingement, etc.
• Elbow injuries: such as golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, elbow ligament injury or UCL, elbow dislocation, olecranon bursitis, etc.
• Hand injuries: such as trigger finger, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Foot and ankle injuries: such as recurrent ankle sprains/ankle instability, Haglund’s deformity, Achilles tendon rupture.
• Bone disorders or injuries: such as fractures, arthritis, slipped disc.
• Neck injuries: such as stiff neck, whiplash. 
• Hip injuries: such as snapping hip syndrome, piriformis syndrome, osteitis pubis, hip labral injuries, hip bursitis, etc.
• Back injuries: such as sciatica, lumbar degenerative disc disease, lumbar and thoracic spine fractures.
• Knee injuries: such as unstable kneecap/subluxing patella, PCL injury, patella tendon rupture, MCL injury, ACL injury, etc.

However, in general, you can expect some of the following outcomes:

• Reduced pain and inflammation
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Increased strength and endurance
• Improved balance and coordination
• Better posture and alignment
• Increased ability to perform daily activities
• Prevention of future injuries or re-injury

Results of physiotherapy can take time, and may require ongoing treatment or maintenance exercises to maintain the benefits achieved. Work closely with your orthopaedist and follow their recommendations for exercises and activities for the best results.

During the initial evaluation, your orthopaedist will discuss your condition, goals and treatment plan. They will also assess your progress during subsequent sessions and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

In some cases, patients may see improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment over a longer period of time.
