How Our Ottawa Physiotherapists Approach Your Treatment

At Apollo, our physiotherapists take a holistic approach to your recovery. Each patient is unique, and we create customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. During your initial visit, our physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your condition and determine the best course of treatment.

A typical physiotherapy assessment at our Ottawa clinic lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. During this session, your physiotherapist will:

• Review Your Health History: We will ask you about your medical history, any prior injuries, and your current symptoms to get a clear picture of your condition.
• Evaluate Your Posture and Range of Motion: The physiotherapist will assess your posture and range of motion in different joints to identify any areas of dysfunction or restriction.
• Conduct Specific Tests: Depending on your condition, your physiotherapist may perform additional tests to evaluate your strength, coordination, and movement patterns. These tests help identify the root causes of your pain or limitations.
• Treatment Plan and Follow-up Care: After completing the assessment, your physiotherapist will explain the findings and outline a treatment plan designed to address your specific issues. Depending on your needs, this may include manual therapy (such as joint mobilizations or soft tissue massage), ultrasound, stretching, strengthening exercises, or other techniques aimed at improving your function.

Your physiotherapist will also provide you with a series of exercises to perform at home to continue your recovery outside of the clinic. These exercises are tailored to help you regain strength, mobility, and flexibility. Regular follow-up visits will allow our physiotherapists to track your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and ensure that you’re on track to meet your rehabilitation goals.

What to Expect During Your First Visit to Our Ottawa Physiotherapy Clinics

If you’re visiting us for the first time, we want to make sure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible. When you arrive at Apollo for accident rehabilitation, you will be asked to arrive a few minutes early to complete some initial paperwork, including a health history form and clinic policies form.

Once you’ve completed the forms, one of our physiotherapists will meet you in the waiting area and guide you to the treatment area, which may be a private room or a treatment cubicle, depending on your needs.
