Physiotherapy in Toronto

Physical therapists are known for their focus on education and at Physio Active One we are no different—we provide the information you require to get started on your own treatment, or continue on your rehabilitation path.

When you're attending physiotherapy you won't just have access to one type of therapist but to many under the physical therapy umbrella, including:

• Acute care
• Aquatic physical therapy
• Cardiopulmonary and pulmonary
• Clinical electro and wound management
• Geriatrics
• Hand
• Neurology
• Orthopedic
• Pediatric
• Sports physical therapy
• Women's health

Physiotherapy has evolved to treat a diverse range of injuries as well as the debilitating results of multiple diseases. As stated by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, "Canadians are moving, moving more and moving better with the help of physiotherapy.”

Our goal is that our clients in Toronto are provided with the tools to ensure this vision stays true.

Treatment

While each client is unique and their treatment is based on their personal physiotherapy assessment, there are common treatments that physical therapists practice, including:

• Personalized exercise programs
• Soft tissue and manual therapy techniques such as massage
• Joint mobilization and manipulation
• Hot and cold packs
• Cardiorespiratory techniques such as airway clearance methods
• Skin and wound care
• Functional activity and tolerance training
• Work and occupational re-training
• Prescription, fabrication and application of supportive and protective equipment

Beyond this, clients also have the opportunity to experience electrotherapeutic, aquatic and acupuncture treatments with approval from their therapist.

Goals

Physiotherapy is based primarily in movement sciences and aims to enhance or restore function of multiple body systems. This is done with a holistic approach and commitment to health, and an excellent quality of life.

Physical therapists complete these goals by:

• Promoting optimal mobility.
• Taking preventative measures towards injury and disability.
• Managing acute and chronic conditions.
• Improving and maintaining functional independence.
• Rehabilitating injury and effects of disease or disability.
• Educating clients and creating maintenance and support programs.

Your therapist will assess your situation on your first appointment, and provide a diagnosis. Following this, you will help them to plan a strategy for recovery. Your therapist will educate you every step of the way and promote lifelong learning. This is a practice of the therapist themselves, as physiotherapy is a constantly evolving profession.

Settings

Physiotherapy is quite often recommended in hospital or by a family doctor, but there are many other locations the profession is practiced and where a client can gain access.

You may be referred to us through child-development centers, community health centers, home care or nursing homes. Insurance companies also recommend physiotherapy after accidents.

If you're a senior citizen, you may be recommended by someone at your residence to attend therapy. At Physio Active One we offer in-home treatment and are able to visit any residence in Toronto.

Schools, sports settings, work sites and other companies are also locations physical therapy is promoted. Job safety and the practice of safe sports are very important.
