Our Physiotherapists Help You Get on The Road to Recovery
What To Expect At Your First Physiotherapy Session
On the first visit, our Physiotherapist performs a thorough health history and examination to discover the root cause of your pain or problem. This exam consists of questions, tests, and other procedures to determine where your problem is coming from and how best to address it.
Once this step is complete, our Physiotherapist will report what they find and explain what techniques are best to treat the presenting issue. We also take imaging reports or other test results into consideration.
The first visit lasts about 1 hour and includes initial treatment, as required.

FAQ
No, if you feel you would benefit from seeing a physiotherapist, you can call anytime to book your appointment.
Your first appointment lasts 1 hour, and follow-up visits last 30 minutes. During these sessions, you spend the time one-on-one with your Physiotherapist.
Our physiotherapy sessions are in a private setting with a licensed physiotherapist. We use various techniques that do include machines, but your therapist conducts treatment sessions, and you are never left alone. We might provide home exercises, but you receive complete instructions on all exercises given to you.
Unfortunately we do not direct bill to insurance. We will be able to provide you with a receipt that has all the details needed to submit to your insurance. It is also essential to check with your insurance company to see if you have coverage for physiotherapy.
Our Brantford Pain Relief Clinic Offers The Following Services To Help You:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective method of pain relief that uses sterile needles inserted into specific parts of the body. It helps reduce inflammation allowing the area of pain to heal quicker.
Cupping
Cupping is a technique used to increase blood flow by placing cups on the body that create suction. This method of treatment helps relax tense muscles and relieve pain.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound Therapy is a standard modality used by physiotherapists to help relieve pain and treat muscle injuries. It works by sending sound waves that vibrate the injured tissue. Ultrasound waves help ease pain by increasing blood flow, reducing swelling, and gently massaging the damaged tissue. It is very safe, and we can use it on any body part.
TENS
A TENS machine is a device that emits a low voltage electric current that is helpful for pain relief. It stimulates the nerves of the affected area and causes your body to release pain-relieving biochemicals called endorphins. It is very safe and can be used to treat acute or chronic pain.
IFC
Interferential Current (IFC) is another common modality physiotherapists use to assist with pain relief. It also uses electric currents to penetrate deep into the tissues under your skin. These electric currents help accelerate the healing process by reducing swelling and stimulating tissue healing.
Manual Therapy
Your Physiotherapist may use manual therapy during your treatment. This type of therapy is hands-on and can help with pain relief. Joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are worked on and manipulated to restore proper function and movement.
Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgical Rehabilitation is a common reason people seek physiotherapy. Our Physiotherapist has many years of hospital-based experience assisting patients who have recently undergone surgery. He uses many different types of treatments and exercises to help you recover and regain strength. In addition, we give educational advice to help you avoid re-injuring the joint as it heals. If you have recently had surgery or will be undergoing surgery in the future, be sure to consult with us so that you can make a full and speedy recovery.
