Physical therapy involves no surgeries or medications. It adopts a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating physical pain, discomfort and immobility.

What is physiotherapy treatment?
Physiotherapy treatments are a combination of various techniques and methods that are customized based on the patient’s needs and expectations. The objective of physiotherapy treatment is to help the patient alleviate their chief complaint, which is typically some sort of pain and discomfort from an accident, injury, or chronic painful condition, such as arthritis.
This is accomplished by focusing on specific services that will help alleviate that pain, improve functioning, and help strengthen the body. At Physiotherapy First, our physiotherapists do not just focus on the initial symptoms of the pain and discomfort but also treat the root causes for the pain and discomfort.
Physiotherapy treatment and services can involve using one or more of the following methods:
Manual manipulation of the muscles, soft tissues, tendons, and skeletal system.
Exercise therapy that targets the affected areas of pain and discomfort.
Hot and cold therapy treatments to help improve circulation, promote healing, and address problems with swelling and soreness.
Other forms of treatments and therapies based upon the needs of the patient such as acupuncture, custom orthotics, ultrasound, and so on.
What should you expect during you initial physiotherapy consultation?
Your initial consultation allows our physiotherapists to obtain a better understanding of your pain and discomfort. A comprehensive examination is performed to determine what types of physiotherapy treatments and services would best meet your needs. During the examination, we may perform some tests, like testing the range of motion.
After the examination, our physiotherapists prepare a customized treatment plan that will focus on the treatments and services that will best help reduce your pain and discomfort, promote healing, and target the underlying causes for the pain.
If you have questions about your treatment plan, we are happy to answer your questions during the consultation visit. If you are satisfied with the treatment plan, we may begin treatment the same day.
How often will I need physiotherapy treatments and services?
The length, duration, and frequency of appointments will depend on the extent of your pain and discomfort. Initially, regular visits every other day, or even every day may be recommended.

I recently injured my elbow at the gym and was in a lot of pain. The clinic I usually go to was closed and my backup clinic was fully booked. I called Physiotherapy First which was close to work for me and they were able to see my right away. That was a good start and things got better from there.In less than 2 weeks of treatment I was pain free and could resume normal gym activity. I have NEVER had similar results with any other physiotherapist or chiropractor! In most cases it was months before I was able to resume normal activity.Why? First, they have an exceptional team starting with Reception who made sure there was little wait time for me upon my arrival, to the Physiotherapist (Harween Kaur) who diagnosed my situation and prescribed a course of action, and the Physiotherapist Assistants who professionally and caringly attended to my healing. Second, there was a variety of techniques and treatments that were used in my recovery (manual manipulation, ultrasound, electrical wave therapy, hot and cold therapies, paraffin wax soak, strengthening exercises). Most other physiotherapists seem to have only one or two of these (eg. massage gun). Finally, you get value for your money. My follow up appointments with other physiotherapists lasted a maximum of 20 minutes. But at this clinic most follow up appointments were close to any hour. They seemed sincerely interested in helping me recover and less so in how quickly they could turnover patients.Needless to say, I have a new “go to” clinic for my rehabilitation needs – Physiotherapy First. Thanks so much Harween and Team!

This clinic is a true gem! I am so glad that my friend referred me to this clinic after she personally had excellent response to the treatment provided here. I initially went with chronic ankle pain and swelling. To my surprise, it went away just in 2 visits!! I was expecting it would go for at least for few months. Gagan and her team (I think Harleen? ) were really amazing! I can't thank them enough!! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics before, and I silently noticed the difference how they work. I am myself a health care professional and I am amazed how they blend hands-on approach to release scars/tightness with traditional physio techniques. They spend extra time to identify the root cause of pain to ensure they are working on right tissues. Later I also went for rt knee pain, and felt lot of relief. They also focus on preventative medicine and will give tips how to prevent recurrence! Sometimes they run bit late (and everyone needs are different); but when they focus on you, they will never rush you. They are well organized with good staffing-both at front and physiotherapy assistants. If someone is on fence, I would say give a try-You will never regret it!

Gurdev is THE BEST !!! AWESOME Osteopath / RMT and gets to the root of the issue. INCREDIBLE thorough PROFESSIONAL !!First name Gurdev means "Deity" and last name Vaid means "Practitioner". The name truly justifies the profession she has chosen; She is truly God sent and I would 1000% recommend Gurdev.+ Their admin Shobha Sandhu (Smiling assassin) does an amazing job as well and MOST IMPORTANT ---Make sure to pay up front for your visit if it's the last appointment else she may interrupt your session for the fee.
