Whoever you are, be physio!
Within the first visit (the evaluation), the physical therapist will establish a portrait of your physical condition. The physiotherapist must proceed to a physical examination which enables him to analyze the problems that affect you, to establish the cause of these problems and to formulate a physiotherapy diagnosis. This first session will also include a treatment portion and particular advice and instructions relative to your condition.
It is following this evaluation that the professional will be able to inform you of the results obtained and of what could help you regain, maintain or maximize your abilities and physical function. Making sure of your comprehension, he will establish with you a realistic treatment plan suitable to your state while respecting your expectations and objectives. This plan will comprise a variety of treatments that could include Pilates on apparatus or more conventional physical therapy treatments. At Inspiration, all of our treatment plans include an education portion to make you actively participate in your rehabilitation.
No, we must make a distinction between trainings and physiotherapy treatments. With the physiotherapy evaluation, the physical therapist will establish your physiotherapy needs, but he must respect his deontology code and elaborate his treatment plan according to his observations. At Inspiration, we like to work on prevention and postural dysfunctions, but the treatments will be centered on these same dysfunctions. On the other hand, the physiotherapist may recommend coupling your treatments with training sessions to maximize your physical health.
Yes, absolutely. Our approach which couples the physiotherapy expertise and the power of the Pilates on apparatus method makes us leaders in chronic pain rehabilitation. In many cases of chronic pain, one must relearn to move without pain to permit the re-education. Our treatments and our methods will allow you, in first place, to improve your bodily conscience.
