All initial appointments with the downtown Calgary Physio Therapy specialists begin with an assessment of your condition. This involves a review of your medical history as well as a neuromusculoskeletal physical examination. By discussing with you your medical history, Physiotherapists are able to verify your symptoms and better evaluate your condition in order to develop an effective treatment plan.
The goals of your initial assessment are to:
- Find the source of your pain/complaint, and determine the structures that are contributory.
- Produce a working diagnosis which will guide your plan of care.
- Develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the findings of the assessment and tailor it to your individual goals and expectations.
Manual Therapy techniques are at the core of the 'hands-on' approach during your downtown Calgary Physio Therapy session, and can include spinal and peripheral joint mobilization or manipulation. As well, manual therapy may include massage, stretching, mobilization or manipulation of soft-tissue including muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia. No physiotherapy treatment is complete without a personalized exercise program, designed to restore strength, endurance, and flexibility of your tissues.
At Evolve Chiropractic & Wellness, their experts work hard to help their patients stay informed about their particular condition and treatment options. Their commitment to patient education is often the key element to each patient's success at therapy.
