If you are suffering from an illness or injury that is restricting your movement and stopping you from performing at your full capacity, physiotherapy may be your way forward. Physiotherapy does not rely on drugs or surgical procedures to help improve your condition, instead using physical means to bring about the desired result. Active Care Health Services Inc. has several physiotherapy specialists on staff at our clinic in Thornhill and has successfully treated thousands of patients over the last few years, helping them to overcome a diverse range of conditions.

How Physiotherapy in Thornhill Can Improve Your Quality of Life

Are you experiencing pain on a daily basis that is stopping you from living the life that you want? If so, our physiotherapy professionals might be able to help you. Conditions we are adept at dealing with include:

• Muscular pain – Many clients who come to us for help suffer from back pain. Should your back ache, or you experience muscular aches in any other part of your body, one of our trained physiotherapists may be able to relieve this pain by improving blood flow to the affected area and releasing tension in these muscles.
• Sports injuries – Physiotherapy and sport are often associated with one another, with the physically demanding nature of sport inevitably leading to injuries. Physiotherapists are often responsible for the management of these injuries and ensuring the client recovers properly in the shortest amount of time possible.
• Rehabilitation – If you were involved in a serious accident or have undergone major surgery, an intensive program of physiotherapy may be required to build up your strength and allow you to function as normal once again.

How Our Process Works

At Active Care Health Services Inc. the first step in our process is to accurately assess your condition to determine the exact nature of your injury, in addition to any underlying factors that may be causing you to experience pain. In order to do this you will usually have to undergo a series of simple tests, which typically consist of basic movements that involve the muscles, joints and nerves that appear to be contributing to the problem. It is possible that after these initial tests have been conducted, a more in depth examination may be needed, with X-rays, MRI scans and ultra-sound scans being used to provide the physiotherapist with additional information. Once they have an accurate understanding of your condition, in addition to what is causing it, they will develop a personalised treatment plan for you.
