REMEDIC has always kept immaculate standards and nightly cleaning of its clinics. In early March 2020 when the Coronavirus pandemic began,REMEDICadded an additional sterilization process in its clinics, using an EPA-registered disinfectant that qualifies under the EPA’s emerging viral pathogen program for use against SARS- CoV-2, a coronavirus that causes COVID-19. We also implemented patient and therapist screening, as well as many more tactics you can read about here, which ensure we are well beyond the CDC’s recommended sanitization levels for a service that the Federal and State governments have identified as an essential service.

At Remedic ,wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and a pair of rubber-soled sneakers. Every treatment course begins with a comprehensive evaluation.

At Remedic, Yes, please do. Although we can request these from your doctor or lab facility, it is better if you provide them for us during your first visit so that we can perform a more complete and accurate evaluation. You will be asked to fill out some basic paperwork, so don’t forget to bring your prescription for physical therapy.

Here at remedic, we perform various types of treatments, and will customize a program combining the best techniques specific for your particular injury. The modalities and techniques we use include soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, electrical stimulation, stretching, therapeutic exercises, and ice. The treatment program will be performed in a private treatment room as well as a gym setting using a variety of athletic and rehabilitation equipment.

At Remedic Physiotherapy Center, you will always see the same physical therapist that you start with, except for special circumstances such as scheduling difficulties or special diagnoses.

At Remedic,Generally, your initial visit will last over 1 hour since the therapist will need to evaluate your condition, provide treatment, and give home instructions. Following visits may last from 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your injury and level of activity.

Here at Remedic, most prescriptions and treatment schedules are for 2-3 visits per week, but this will vary based on your condition and physical ability. Physical therapy sessions typically last an hour. Treatment plans usually are from 6-12 weeks with periodic re-evaluations and regular follow-up visits with your doctor.

here are somethins you can prepare when coming to remedic- Arrive on time. If you are late, you are taking away from your own assessment/treatment time. Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing If you have a low back, hip, or knee injury, bring shorts If you have a shoulder injury, wear a loose fitting t-shirt or tank top If you have a doctor’s referral (particularly after surgery), bring it Bring a list of questions you would like to discuss

Physiotherapy shouldn’t hurt and is completely safe. Physiotherapy often activates deep tissue, and it’s quite possible that there will be some soreness after a treatment session. Stretching and deep tissue work will often cause temporary soreness. It’s important to note that sometimes getting better requires some hard work.

Physiotherapy is designed to treat you as an individual. A full assessment of your condition will take place on your first appointment. The physio will do a physical assessment that will include tests on strength, your range of motion, balance and restrictions. The physiotherapist will also review all relevant medical reports. Together with the client, the physiotherapist will set realistic and achievable goals. Your physio will begin by making a full treatment plan for your rehabilitation program and make a schedule of appointments.

Physiotherapy is not like a personal trainer. Physiotherapists have six years of schooling and a lifetime of continuing education. They are experts in movement and function as it relates to specific medical conditions. Personal trainers have a much less rigorous educational requirement, usually just a certificate. They focus on overall strength and conditioning not how it relates to a specific medical condition. Personal trainers often work with a physiotherapist, under their guidance to supplement the treatments of a physiotherapist.

It’s understandable that if we are in pain, we want to be cured right away. Many people seek out remedies that offer quick relief, and many people turn to medications that promise to eliminate your pain. These cures merely mask the pain and often force us into a continuing cycle of pain and drug use. Physiotherapy goes to the core underlying cause of your pain. Physiotherapy seeks a long-term solution to reducing pain naturally and permanently. However, in some cases, a physiotherapist can offer immediate relief from pain.

Pain is a defence mechanism that our bodies use to restrict motion and alert us to a problem. Physiotherapy cannot eliminate all pain related problems. Sometimes surgery or other medical interventions are necessary. However, in the vast majority of situations, physiotherapy can help to eliminate pain permanently. Physiotherapists will guide clients in steps they can take to stay pain-free in the future by altering the patterns and motions that originally caused the pain.

Every situation is different. Some clients need no more than two or three visits to a physiotherapist. However, some clients such as stroke patients or those who have an acquired brain injury may see a physiotherapist for some years. The goal of every physiotherapist should be to eliminate the need for a client to see them. This means they need to provide professional and effective treatment that ensures a long-term solution to a client’s problem.

In most cases, your physiotherapist will give you exercises for you to do on your own in between your physiotherapy sessions. However, your physiotherapy sessions are important to assess your progress constantly. One of the most common mistakes people make is to refrain from doing their exercises because they either no longer have pain or see little improvement.

Not only is this not advisable it could be quite dangerous. Without a proper assessment, you will not know the true cause of your pain. The origin of your pain or restricted motion might be caused by something completely unrelated to the area you feel the pain or the restriction. For example, a misaligned hip can cause a sore knee, and a weak lower back can cause a sore shoulder. Youtube is an excellent resource if you plan on fixing your car or house, but it is no substitute when it comes to physiotherapy.

Physiotherapists treat a wide variety of issues. Some physiotherapists specialize in certain areas while others see a broad range of conditions. Knee, back, shoulder and neck soreness remain the most common treatments that a physiotherapist will see. Physiotherapists also work with stroke survivors, acquired brain injuries, post-operative orthopedic patients and sports injuries.

The list of treatments that a physiotherapist can treat is almost endless. Here is just a small list of conditions and ailments that physiotherapy can benefit. Neurological; acquired brain injuries, concussions, Parkinsons, muscular schlerosis, spinal cord injuries, stroke survivors. Musculoskeletal; Back, neck, shoulder, knee. Repetitive strain; Carpal tunnel, tendinitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow. Postoperative; Total knee replacement, total hip replacement, back surgery, heart surgery. Pediatric; Movement disorders, developmental delays, mucular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, patellofemoral syndrome. Sports injuries; ACL, MCL, knee, back, concussions. Women’s health; Pregnancy issues, urinary incontinence and lymphedema.

No, however we do recommend that you contact your private health insurance company as they may require a medical referral to authorise reimbursement of treatment charges.

Yes, if the physiotherapist is Chartered and registered with the HPC (Health Professionals Council). All Physiotherapists working for Ramsay Health Care UK are only employed if they comply with this. It is advisable to check with your insurance company before starting treatment as they may need to pre-authorise it.

At Remedic physiotherapists are not employed unless they have produced valid registration documents from the Health Professionals Council. This registration is renewed every two years and the Physio manager has copies of the originals within the department.

Chartered Physiotherapists are qualified to treat all spinal problems. In fact a large percentage of their workload is made up of back and neck problems.

We are normally able to offer you an appointment within 24 hours - often on the same day.

There is no pre-determined number of treatments for a specific conditions, but following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss and agree a treatment plan with you. They should be able to give you an approximate guide at this point.

Physiotherapists and chiropractors both work with patients who are experiencing pain or having difficultly while performing different physical tasks. The only difference between the two is their treatment methods. Chiropractors mostly rely on aligning parts of the body (adjustments) with main focus on spine, while physiotherapists use exercise programs and assistive devices to improve patient's mobility or reduce pain levels.

Yes, if a physio suggests you to do exercises on your own then start doing the same. Sometimes the exercises are practiced by the physio at the time of treatment which are supposed to do on your own without having an eye of any physio. The reason of suggesting the exercises to be done on your own is only that the recovery moves on fast pace and there is a relief in pain. Sometimes patient can also consult YouTube videos or online exercise programs, we strongly advise against that.

In some cases, when patient’s mobility is an issue, there is no option but to take physiotherapy at home. For other cases, It depends on the choice of a patient whether he wants the treatment to be done at home or clinic. But in some cases, treatment requires different type of equipment which can be available only at the clinic for which it is better for patient to visit the clinic for better results. Apart from this a senior physio is also available at the clinic who can keep an eye on the undergoing treatment. But if a patient wants treatment to be done at their home & treatment requires only manual therapy or portable instruments, we can provide home care physiotherapy. Normally for long term treatments if you are not sure whether you can visit clinic regularly, you should opt for home care service

It depends on the patient condition and convenience. In some cases, it is the only viable option for the patient e.g. A post stroke patient having balancing related issues or having paralysis, in such cases it is better to take physiotherapy at home but if the issue is mild and you can visit a nearby clinic without skipping the sessions then there is no harm to visit a clinic. Also, for patients having time constraints, physiotherapy at home service can be a time saving option.

Treatment from a manual therapist involves a hands-on approach to skillfully diagnose and treat joint and movement dysfunctions throughout the body. This hands-on approach can include joint mobilization as well as peripheral/spinal joint manipulation. A specific exercise prescription and thorough education on the condition or injury being treated is included as part of the treatment program. The skillset of a manual therapist is acquired through extensive, internationally recognized post-graduate education focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of complicated muscle and joint problems. This education consists of several years of ongoing courses and standardized examinations or a return to university to complete a degree in Manipulative Physiotherapy.

All of the physiotherapists at Movement Solutions Physiotherapy are registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. In addition, all staff members have additional certification in one or more areas such as acupuncture, manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, taping, and running injuries.

NO,NO and no, physiotherapy is direct access, meaning you do not need a doctor’s referral. Some private health insurance companies do require a doctor’s referral in order to provide reimbursement. As every plan is different it is best to call your insurance provider and ask if a doctor’s referral is needed.

You will experience a friendly, caring and relaxed environment, starting when you fill out a patient intake form. After that you will have a one-on-one assessment with your physiotherapist, who will conduct a thorough history and physical assessment. Following this your condition/injury will be explained to you and your questions answered. Depending on the complexity of your condition/injury some treatment may be initiated on the initial visit. If time does not allow for this some form of home management/exercise will be provided to begin the rehabilitation process at home prior to your next visit.

Each injury/condition is different as are individuals’ goals for rehabilitation. During your assessment your physiotherapist will discuss the goals you hope to achieve with physiotherapy and the time frame in which he or she expects to be working with you to achieve those goals. If at any point during your treatment you are unclear as to “how much longer” it will take, please bring it up with your physiotherapist and they will be happy to discuss your prognosis.

Most extended health care and employee health plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physiotherapy, usually up to a maximum amount. It’s best to call your provider and clarify your coverage.

At Movement Solutions Physiotherapy we pride ourselves on ONE-ON-ONE patient care. We do not employ physiotherapy assistants or aides. All of your assessment and treatment will be provided by your physiotherapist. This is a philosophy we feel strongly about as it ensures the highest level of care and communication regarding your injury/condition.

A large majority of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions can be greatly improved if not eliminated with manual physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist, with your consent, will work with additional healthcare providers you’ve consulted should any issues be present beyond our scope of practice. If insignificant or unsatisfactory gains are being made with your physiotherapy treatment your physiotherapist will refer you on to the appropriate healthcare provider for further/additional consultation.

Our aim at Remedic Physiotherapy is to get you assessed as soon as possible. With the number of physiotherapists on our staff it is common to get an appointment within one to two days. If you have a limited schedule or you are seeking a particular physiotherapist it is best to call in advance to arrange for your first assessmen
