Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy (physical therapy or PT as it is often referred to) is a health care profession which provides services to children and adults who have difficulty with decreased or altered movement, co-ordination or pain. Physiotherapists assess muscle tone, reflex behaviour, posture, movement patterns, range of motion, strength, balance, gait, running, and coordination. By correcting abnormalities in the neuro/ musculoskeletal system, physiotherapists help to maximize a person’s ability to participate actively in one’s lifestyle.

Our Physiotherapists are skilled at:

• Performing a thorough assessment to determine the source of problems, prioritizing the concerns and educating the patient in the steps to be taken to reach treatment goals
  
  
• Providing comprehensive treatment programming in a variety of settings (in the clinic, home and school)
  
  
• Improving range of motion and strength
  
  
• Helping with pain relief (diminish pain)
  
  
• Setting up individual programs in the home,
  at the gym or pool
  
  
• Utilizing manual therapy techniques to correct posture, alignment and moving abnormalities
  
  
• Recommending and monitoring equipment such as wheelchairs, assistive walking devices and electrical modalities
  
  
• Communicating with your physician regarding how you are progressing with your treatment – this is done throughout your care using a Patient Results form
  
  
• Getting the results that you are looking to achieve so that your day to day life is easier than it was before you started therapy!

Why Choose One of Our Physiotherapists?

At Skill Builders Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, our physiotherapists are registered and licensed professionals who are qualified to provide one-on-one intensive therapy programs. The Physiotherapist is not running between multiple clients like in other clinics; our therapists are dedicated to your care, with their full attention given to your concerns. Clients are assigned to an individual therapist so that continuity of care is uncompromised. Once in a while, other physiotherapists may assist in the client’s care for the client’s benefit. Our therapists are committed to continuing education efforts and actively share their knowledge with others. We are certified in manual therapy, myofascial release techniques, vestibular rehabilitation, acupuncture and complex decongestive therapy.
