The first step to successful medical care and recovery is a complete evaluation and diagnosis. The evaluation will include an examination of your muscles, test of your joints, and assessment of your injury or condition. At this time a diagnosis, education about your condition and an initial plan of care will be given. The evaluation is then followed by treatment. The doctor of physiotherapy can perform manual therapy by mobilizing tissue and joints, using modalities, trigger points, intra-articular injections and more procedures to allow for a rapid and more complete recovery. You can also expect your clinician to prescribe a personalized exercise regime to be done in the clinic and at home. These exercises will help to restore your strength and function. The key to your complete and sustainable recovery is a team approach: the physiotherapist, the rehab nurses and you.
The body does not change overnight. It can take a number of weeks to stretch, strengthen and retrain. You may need one visit or you may need several months of treatment depending upon your condition. Your physiotherapy clinician will recommend how long you will be treated. Usually, by the second treatment, your physical medicine clinician can give you a good estimate of how many visits it will take to get you back in action.
