F.A.Q.s

Delve into our comprehensive responses addressing frequent inquiries about our physiotherapy services.

What is a Physiotherapist?

A physiotherapist is a post-graduate professional program that takes at least two years on top of an undergraduate program. With a unique (hands on approach) approach and focus on movement patterns and techniques, they are well versed in identifying strengths and weaknesses and rebuilding those weaknesses. Northwest Rehab Group’s Physiotherapists use a variety of soft tissue therapy, mobilizations, exercise rehabilitation and various other techniques to make sure you reach your goals and get back to active life.

Physiotherapists help with musculoskeletal acute and chronic injuries and preventative care by manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and education of healthy and active lifestyles. Manual therapy can include myofascial release, soft tissue therapy, mobilizations, and modalities. It is important to get you back to everyday activities and pre-accident status, as well as prevent injuries from occurring, and physiotherapy can help with that!

How can physiotherapy help me?

One of the most common questions many clients ask when they are looking to try out some form of physical therapy is how Vancouver physiotherapy can help them? The truth is that it can help with better understanding and identifying the root cause of the problem, injury prevention and anyone suffering from pain or sports injuries.

Another most common questions clients have is how physiotherapy can help them deal with their back pain? Back pain can be quite painful, and for those that have suffered from back pain before, it can seem like it never ends. Physiotherapy deals with pain by helping you to strengthen your back muscles and improve your flexibility at the same time.

Another question often asked is how does physiotherapy help them with their shoulder pain or neck pain? It often helps to have a physiotherapist expertise involved with assessing your injury and recommending a course of treatment for your physical health. Therapists will be able to provide you with a chart that shows you your injuries as well as what physiotherapy options you have. A physiotherapy chart is often very comprehensive and will include:
X-rays.

Will I only be doing exercises for my treatment?

Each session is dependent on the patient’s goals. Our physiotherapists (exercise therapists) focus on making sure you are comfortable while achieving your goal. Most sessions will consist of having some manual therapy time with your therapists. As you progress, less physical therapy time may be required with more focus on your movement and strength.

Will I be in more pain after my treatment?

Most patients leave their session more comfortable and confident with their movement. However, as with any physio therapy and active rehab program, there can be times where you can have more pain after certain movements. Don’t be discouraged though, but please tell your therapists what gave you pain so they can better accommodate to your needs.

What role do chronic injuries play in physiotherapy?

Chronic injuries often result from overuse of a body part or not properly healing an acute injury. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing and rehabilitating chronic injuries by offering tailored treatment plans that may include manual therapy, exercise prescriptions, and patient education. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve function, and prevent further injury.

What should I expect during a physiotherapy assessment?

A physiotherapy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that includes reviewing your medical history, understanding your symptoms, and performing physical tests and measurements. This assessment helps in diagnosing the condition and crafting a personalized treatment plan. It may cover areas such as mobility, strength, balance, and functional abilities, focusing on both prevention and rehabilitation.

What is active rehabilitation, and how does it work?

Active rehabilitation is a patient-centered approach focusing on specific exercises and activities to restore physical function and mobility after an injury or surgery. It involves active participation from the patient, with guidance and support from the physiotherapist, to progressively improve strength, flexibility, and endurance. This approach is vital for a successful recovery and long-term health maintenance.

How are exercise prescriptions developed in physiotherapy?

Exercise prescriptions are tailored exercise programs developed by physiotherapists based on a detailed assessment of the patient’s condition, goals, and physical capabilities. These prescriptions aim to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall function while considering any limitations or specific needs. The exercises are designed to be safe, effective, and achievable, with gradual progression to challenge the patient as their condition improves.

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

No, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist. However, if you did see a physician before your appointment, please discuss with your physiotherapist what their findings were as this can help better focus your treatment.

How does massage therapy complement physiotherapy treatment?

Massage therapy, particularly when performed by registered massage therapists, can significantly enhance the outcomes of physiotherapy treatment. It helps in relaxing muscles, improving blood circulation, and reducing stress, which can be beneficial for patients recovering from both acute and chronic conditions. Integrating massage therapy into a physiotherapy plan can accelerate recovery and aid in achieving comprehensive wellness.

Can physiotherapy help with sports and recreational activities?

Yes, physiotherapy is instrumental in treating injuries related to sports and recreational activities. It not only helps in the recovery from sports injuries but also in enhancing performance and preventing future injuries. Physiotherapists develop specialized programs that include exercises, techniques, and patient education tailored to the specific demands of different sports and activities.

Why is patient education important in physiotherapy?

Patient education is a cornerstone of physiotherapy, empowering patients with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their condition and prevent future injuries. It includes teaching about the mechanics of the body, the importance of posture, the benefits of regular exercise, and how to perform exercises safely. Educated patients are more likely to engage in their treatment plans actively and achieve better outcomes.

What People Say About Us.

NRG is an excellent clinic - I started going in the middle of 2021. I was impressed with their covid requirements and attention to detail. I felt safe visiting and Krista has been just wonderful. She listens, digs into my sore spots and has really helped me progress forward with my injuries.

– Lana L. location Vancouver BC

I have been going to Dr. Nguyen and co. for over a year now, for various injuries from sports. He's extremely nice and personable, and keeps things light. Very knowledgeable, and I highly recommend him! The office is a great one stop shop (Chiro, physio, RMT)!

– Matthew S. location Vancouver BC

Northwest Rehab is a gorgeous, clean, and friendly facility in a convenient location. Alex has been a great physiotherapist; he's provided many practical exercises and stretches that are easy to fit into my daily routine, and that are at the perfect skill level for what I'm currently capable of... I've seen noticeable improvement in my range of motion in the last couple months. Would highly recommend!
