Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a healthcare practice that treats a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries. It involves manual manipulation of affected muscles, joints and soft tissues. At our physiotherapy clinic in Brampton, we provide personalized treatments to help every individual get back to a healthy lifestyle and restore quality of life. Physical therapy involves no surgeries or medications. It adopts a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating physical pain, discomfort and immobility.

Replace Aches and Pains with Comfort and Flexibility.

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:

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.

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.
