What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, also called Physical Therapy, is a health care profession that is dedicated to treating injuries that have occurred in your bones, ligaments, muscles and/or tendons. Current requirements to use the title of Physiotherapist, or Physical Therapist, require the completion of Master's of Science Degree in Physical Therapy.
When completing an assessment your therapist will look at your injury, your ability to complete specific movements, and talk to you about your pain. At MOMENTUM your therapist will then use a variety of treatments to promote healing. Examples of some treatments used include: manual therapy, specialized needling techniques like IMS and acupuncture, taping, joint mobilizations, and pain-relieving modalities. You will also receive a customized home exercise program to maximize recovery and receive injury prevention education to assist in preventing re-injury.
If you're dealing with a current injury, or think you are at risk for developing an injury, call MOMENTUM today to see how we can help you gain your momentum back!
