WHAT IS
ORTHOPEDIC
Physical Therapy
Orthopedic Physical Therapy at Indigo Physiotherapy focuses on treating the whole body to restore movement, alleviate pain, and improve quality of life. This service is ideal for those experiencing pain, recovering from an injury, or managing chronic conditions.
How
WE CARE FOR YOU
Our orthopedic services begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your unique history, concerns, and goals. From there, we create a care plan specifically designed for your needs.
PERSONALIZED APPROACH
In your initial session, we’ll assess your medical history, lifestyle, and functional movement. Our evaluation includes posture analysis, muscle strength testing, and functional movement assessment. Based on these insights, we create a customized plan that may involve manual therapy, targeted exercises, neuromuscular retraining, and strategies to address musculoskeletal concerns.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Sessions are one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, typically lasting one hour. We start by discussing your concerns and goals, followed by a physical assessment. Depending on your needs, we may recommend specific tests to assess areas like joint mobility and alignment. With your consent, we guide you through each step to ensure your comfort and understanding.
PREPARING FOR YOUR VISIT
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement, and complete any paperwork in advance to make your visit as smooth as possible. We provide home exercises and educational materials to support your healing between sessions.
