Involving damage to muscles, bones, or joints often caused by trauma, but gradual onset is possible if the root-cause is postural. Injury rehabilitation through physiotherapy provided by a registered physiotherapist aids in restoring mobility and strength, and prevent future reoccurrence with targeted treatment.
Occur when muscle fibers are overstretched, irritated or torn. Repetitive injuries may indicate a root-cause stemming from the joint, weak surrounding muscles, or neuro-motor control due to nerve signaling problems. PhysiotheInjury rehabilitation by a registered physiotherapist focuses on identifying the clinical diagnosis, manual therapy to creates efficient healing, and rehab protocol prescription for establish equal muscle tension on either sides of the joints that promo long-term prevention.
Injury rehabilitation often addresses issues resulting from overstretched or torn ligaments, commonly affecting the ankles, shoulders, or knees. Physiotherapy can help reduce swelling, improve mobility / stability, and prevent re-injury.
Wheather it's a nerve root compression (median, ulnar, and radial nerve), or sciatic nerve irritation along the path of the nerve. Injury rehabilitation through physiotherapy, led by a registered physiotherapist, supports motor function recovery, balance, and coordination.
Education on healing and delayed union prevention is vital in injury rehabilitation through physiotherapy. During the healing phase of a fracture, consulting with a registered physiotherapist is essential to regain strength, flexibility, and function in the affected area.
Caused by compression of the median nerve or any of the 9 tendon structures within the wrist. It is important to identify which of the 10 structures that pass through the tunnel is affected. A registered physiotherapist can identify the root-cause to the pain, improve hand function through manual therapy and targeted physiotherapy exercise prescription tailored to the clinical presentation to increase the space within the carpal tunnel, improve the gliding of structures and eliminate symptoms.
Affects shoulder muscles and tendons, often due to improper mechanics of the Glenohumeral-joint or trauma. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring shoulder mechanical mobility, targeted stability exercise to regain function, and specific manual therapy techniques to restore mechanical mobility under the care of your physiotherapist.
Common in motor vehicle accidents, or competitive contact sport causing trauma to the head or neck. Concussion injury rehabilitation through physiotherapy is essential. A registered physiotherapist helps guide your through strategic, and structured protocol to eliminate concussion symptoms (neck pain, dizziness, ringing in the ear, double/blurry vision, memory issues or trouble focusing) through guided recovery protocols.
Involves jaw pain and dysfunction, often requiring physiotherapy to assess the health of the disc within the TMJ, the muscle health, and tendon integrity. Treatment provided by a registered physiotherapist includes manual therapy to restrore proper mechanical movement within the ball/socket formation of the joint, posture correction, and exercises to eliminate clicking and improve jaw mobility.
"-itis" = inflammation. "-osis"= Degeneration
Tendon"itis" = Inflammation of Tendon
Tendon"osis" = Degeneration of Tendon
Arthro = Joint.
Therefore, Joint Athro"itis" is inflammation of the joint rather than degeneration alone. Get informed on the literature of injury rehabilitation and return to function through physiotherapy with a Registered Physiotherapist.
A condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position due to tendon sheath inflammation or contractures. Symptoms include: finger locking, pain, stiffness, and snapping when straightening. Physiotherapy can improve mobility of the tendon, increase joint's range of motion, improve joint flexibility, return to function, and symptoms reduction may prevent the need for surgery.
Physiotherapy recovery programs led by a registered physiotherapist are essential for effective injury rehabilitation from (ACL Reconstruction, Total Hip Replacement, Rotator Cuff Surgical Repair, Total or Partial Knee Replacement, Miniscus Repair, and Spinal fusion). Speak to a Physiotherapist to regain strength and function post operatively for efficient healing and return to function.
Treatment for dizziness and balance disorders linked to the inner ear, or vestibular canals, can be effectively addressed through physiotherapy injury rehabilitation programs. Tiny calcium carbonate crystals, called otoconia, are normally located in the inner ear's utricle but can become dislodged and fall into the semicircular canals. A Registered physiotherapist can help clear the crystals and prescribe rehab protocols to prevent reoccurrence.
Alignment evaluation and precise exercise prescription provided by a registered physiotherapist to monitor and manage spinal curvature. This is tailored to your joint above/below and degree of curvature. Thorough analysis will help identify if the scoliosis is congenital, structural, or functional. Physiotherapy can address nerve compression, and muscle imbalances to reduce symptoms and improve function.
Strategies for managing persistent pain can be effectively approached through physical exampination and manual methods of assessment to identify the root-cause diagnosis. Precise physiotherapy guided by a registered physiotherapist specializing in injury rehabilitation is important in identifying the root-cause to your pain.
Targeted and specific Hands-on techniques through physiotherapy tailored based on the patient's clinical presentation. This empowers injury rehabilitation by improving the mechanical movement at the joint, enhance mobility, resolve neurological involvements or compressions, and address the root-cause to your muscles' and joints' pain.
Graded movements guided by a registered physiotherapist can improve your injury rehabilitation through physiotherapy by restoring joint mechanics, reduce muscle spasm, improve flexibility, and return to function.
Analysis of articular structures (i.e. joints, cartilage, and bones) integrity, in addition to soft tissue (i.e. muscles, tendons, and ligaments) involvement in the injury will aid in implementing a more efficient and tailored injury rehabilitation protocol model through physiotherapy; paving the way for a more efficient return to function and injury-prevention. Customized workout plans designed by a registered physiotherapist to meet your fitness goals.
