The Power of Physiotherapy: Why Should You See a Physiotherapist in the First Place?
Physiotherapy is about helping you live your best quality of life by optimizing your movement potential. As a profession, we believe movement is critical to what it means to be healthy.
Here is how we help you do this:
Comprehensive Assessment
The first step of your journey with us is about getting to the bottom of what's bothering you, a process we call assessment. There are two parts to this:
Subjective Examination:
Involves a series of questions aimed at understanding the history, or background, of your condition. These questions dig into the nature of your problem, how it started, how it's affecting your daily life, investigations done (X-rays, MRIs, etc.), and the kind of treatment you've received so far. Additional questions on your occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle in general are asked to get more insight into your experience.
Physical Examination:
This step builds on the subjective assessment through more objective physical tests. These include:
- Postural observations.
- Joint range of motion tests.
- Targeted special clinical tests.
- Gait assessments.
Collectively, subjective and physical examinations aim to get to the root cause of your complaints, which informs the clinical diagnosis.
Management
Once the diagnosis is made, a corresponding treatment plan is formulated with clear short- and long-term goals, along with appropriate treatment methods to deal with the condition. The length of treatment varies depending on your condition. For some, it's a matter of a few sessions over one or a few weeks before discharge, while for others, it's a medium- to long-term recovery program spanning over months.
It's also important to note that we're not an island. We believe you deserve the best care, so we're always eager to collaborate with other health care practitioners (doctors and surgeons) if your condition needs more than physiotherapy. This ensures the much-needed multidisciplinary team effort you deserve, which is crucial for effective and efficient management.
Empowerment
Our helping hand isn't confined within clinic walls. We also care about your life outside the clinic and, of course, your future. That's why we go to great lengths to ensure you minimize the risk of recurrences and optimize your overall physical well-being. We go all-in on empowering you with the information you need on your condition, including preventive strategies and long-term self-management tools. At-home exercise programs, ergonomic advice, and continual access to our team are a big part of this. This is key, as it lets you take full control of your health and ultimately reduce the chances of doctor/physio revisits.
Physiotherapy Services We Offer for the Surrey Community
Physiotherapy is a broad field of practice, but fortunately, we offer most of the expertise afforded by the profession.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy: This focuses on injuries or conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, i.e., bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common conditions in this area include low back pain, shoulder pain, fractures, tendon injuries, and ligament tears, among others.
Neurological Physiotherapy: This service focuses on assessment and management of conditions affecting the nervous system. Common culprits include stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy: Focuses on assessment, treatment, or rehabilitation of those affected by conditions affecting the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) and lungs. Common conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), high blood pressure (lifestyle management), emphysema, and heart disease.
Sports Physiotherapy: This area of practice focuses on injuries acquired in sports. We offer physiotherapy assessment and treatment for injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, and various overuse injuries. Additionally, we offer rehabilitation services after various surgical procedures, i.e., ACL repair, total knee arthroplasty, and rotator cuff repair, among others.

Our Treatment Approach
First of all, we take a holistic approach to physiotherapy, which focuses on treating you as a whole and not individual parts. In other words, we look beyond the pain/discomfort and address everything that matters to your well-being. This process is possible through a wide range of evidence-based treatment approaches that we use depending on your condition:
Manual Therapy
This is a hands-on approach that uses a wide range of manual treatment techniques to deal with symptoms, improve movement, and enhance overall function. There are two forms of this:
- Soft tissue mobilization techniques aim to reduce symptoms like pain and tightness in structures like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
- Joint Mobilization: Various manual techniques aim to reduce joint pain and improve mobility.
Exercise Therapy
This involves the use of various forms of exercise to improve symptoms, flexibility, strength, and general physical function. Key types of exercise include:
- Flexibility Training: Involves various forms of stretches aimed at improving joint mobility and reducing tightness/stiffness in soft tissue structures.
- Strength Training: Focuses on building muscle strength and performance.
Cardiovascular Endurance Training: Depending on your condition, you may be prescribed cardiovascular exercises, which help with improving your heart and lung capacity to sustain physical activity.
Complimentary Therapies
Beyond exercise and manual therapy, physiotherapy offers a range of complementary treatment methods or techniques to help get you feeling and moving better:
Electrotherapy:
The use of various devices/modalities to promote tissue healing and pain relief. Good examples of devices for pain relief include TENS (Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation) and Interferential Current Therapy. These help the nervous system to adapt to nerve signals through stimulation of sensory nerves by low-intensity electrical currents.
