Here
are some frequently asked questions: |
|
What
are your hours of operations? |
| Both
clinics are opened Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and
Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
See
our Who We Are section for
more information on our services. |
|
What
is the length of the course of treatment? |
This
question is almost impossible to answer. There are various
factors that can influence the course of treatment such as:
- Severity
of the injury.
- Are
there any complications?
- First
time injury or chronic problem?
- Type
of structure injured (muscle, tendon, joint, ligament…).
- Time
between initial injury (or symptoms) and the first
physiotherapy treatment.
- Diligence
in home exercise program.
- What
is the long term goal? (Return to work?, Return to sport?
Etc.)
All
those factors can influence the length of the course of
physiotherapy. Add to that that no two people are the same and
you have a pretty complicated scenario to determine. Your
physiotherapist should be able to give you an estimate once he
or she completes the Initial Assessment of your injury. |
| How
long are the appointments? |
| The
initial assessment is usually one hour long. It is composed of
an interview, where your therapist will ask you questions
related to your injury or problem, a physical assessment and
some treatment.
The
other appointments vary in duration with the type of injuries
and the type of treatment received. Generally they range from 30
to 60 minutes, but they can be shorter or longer. Note that the
fees for each visit are not based on time. This
allows us to give you the treatment you need and deserve and
allows you to perform exercises or others at your own pace.
|
| Do I need to have a "sports injury" to
see a physiotherapist? |
| Not
at all. We treat patients of all ages with all kinds of
injuries.
We
have patients as young as 3 years old and as mature as 93 years
old. The origin of the injury is really not important, so
whether you injured yourself playing a sport or simply doing
daily chores at home we can help you get over your injury. |
