Your visit
When you visit the Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic
170 Laurier Ave. W.
Are you wondering what to expect from your visit to the physiotherapist?
During your initial visit with your physiotherapist, you will undergo a thorough examination including:
- The completion of a general medical questionnaire
- Verbal examination to collect information about the history of your symptoms, aggravating factors, daily activities, past injuries, lifestyle, past medical tests, therapeutic goals, etc.
- Physical examination to assess your level of mobility, strength, endurance, postural habits, range of motion and other physical functional abilities.
- Treatment planning to develop goals and interventions that will assist in the management of your condition. Once the origin of your symptoms is established, you and your physiotherapist will discuss your treatment options and anticipated outcomes.
If you have general questions about physiotherapy or treatment, including what to bring to your appointment, you can visit our Frequently Asked Questions.
