Physiotherapy is an evidence based treatment method that focuses on movement to enhance or restore the body. Physiotherapy assessment begins with a thorough patient history followed by a hands-on assessment which can include evaluation of range of motion, strength, postural alignment, and balance. In collaboration with the patient, an individualized treatment plan is developed to focus on patient goals and symptom relief.
Common conditions physiotherapists treat:
With a thorough history and physical examination, a diagnoses and well rounded individualized treatment plan is provided to restore lost movement, decrease pain and aid in injury prevention. Chiropractic services can involve a variety of techniques including joint manipulations/mobilizations, electro-acupuncture/dry needling, soft tissue therapy, modalities, exercise prescription and education.
Amy completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 through the Maritime Yoga College. Yoga improves strength, balance, and flexibility and has also been shown to reduce stress and promote mental well-being. Based on the findings of your physiotherapy initial assessment, individual (one-on-one) sessions can be tailored to fit your specific health needs and goals while ensuring you are performing yoga postures in the correct form and not causing injury. Clients often feel more comfortable attending community-based classes after attending individualized sessions where they have learned the foundation postures.
