What Can Physiotherapy Treatment Involve?
Physiotherapy involves using various strategies to help our patients restore functioning and achieve their optimal potentials. Our Brampton physiotherapist work in partnership with individuals of all ages to address, identify, and treat potential barriers that could impede overall functioning.
Using this information, our physiotherapist in Brampton work without patients collaboratively to identify their personal goals and objectives while encouraging them to participate in the development of their treatment plans.
Some of the more common physiotherapy treatments we use include:
Manual Therapy
This physiotherapy treatment uses manipulative, hands-on techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, joint manipulation, massage therapy, various connective tissue techniques, mobilization of joints, and mobilization of neural (nerve) tissues. Our physiotherapists and other healthcare providers have and receive continual extensive training in the latest manual therapy techniques and methods.
Exercise Therapy
Patients are given a unique selection of exercises based on their current symptoms and recovery needs. The objective of exercises is to assist in reversing the current limitations, alleviating pain and discomfort, and strengthening the body to reduce the likelihood of future injuries. For patients with chronic conditions, exercise helps reduce the frequency and severity of those conditions. Exercise therapy may also include the use of physical therapy.
Movement Assessment and Analysis
Our Brampton physiotherapists will perform movement assessment and analysis reviews at set intervals. This allows us to take a closer look at the mechanics of your motions and mobility. Our goal is to take the information from the assessment and analysis and apply it to your treatment plan to help reverse any insufficiencies so you can achieve greater range of motion and movement with ease.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy utilizes electrical impulses to help stimulate the muscles, soft tissues, and connective tendons in the affected area. Electrotherapy also helps promotes healing, reducing pain, and treating other types of injuries for faster recovery.
Depending on the therapy used, it can involve electrical or sound waves that help transmit energy into the tissues. This energy helps treat inflammation, heal injuries, control pain, reduce and eliminate scar tissue, and can assist with improving blood flow and circulation into the affected tissues.
Education
An essential component of physiotherapy treatments in Brampton at Physiotherapy First is education. We want to help our patients to become more aware of their conditions, symptoms, causes, and other such impairments. Doing so, makes them feel more involved in their care and treatment plan. Furthermore, our physiotherapists are here to assist our patients throughout their recovery and care with open communications and ongoing collaboration to help our patients achieve their overall goals and objectives.
Pain Management
Another function of physiotherapy is to help our patients with pain management techniques for an improved lifestyle and state of functioning. Regular care can assist with proper posture, methods to use at home to reduce the severity and frequency of pain.

Taking this approach allows our physiotherapists in Brampton to promote patient independence, including how you can better help yourself in your recovery. For instance, your physiotherapist may prescribe exercises as part of your treatment plan.
