During your physiotherapy assessment, the physiotherapist suggested the best treatment plan to achieve your goals based on your condition. This may include two, three, four, or even eight treatments.

You have probably received advice and exercises to do at home to optimize the healing of your condition. You may now be wondering what a physiotherapy treatment involves.

This article will detail what to expect during a treatment with a physiotherapist at Physioactif.

It is important to know that physiotherapy treatments are personalized specifically to each individual and their injury. In general, a physiotherapy treatment includes the following elements:

Discussion of the condition's evolution since the last session

The physiotherapist will ask you about the changes you have noticed since the last appointment (progression of activities related to your goals, intensity and frequency of pain, sleep quality, ease in your movements, your hobbies, and your daily life).

Review, correction, and progression of exercises to do at home

The physiotherapist will check how the exercises went. If needed, the exercises will be modified, corrected, or progressed to ensure the best possible evolution of your condition.

Brief re-evaluation of the condition by performing different movements or specific tests

The physiotherapist will have you perform some tests or movements to re-evaluate your condition and compare it with previous appointments. This re-evaluation will allow them to ensure that your treatment plan is still appropriate for you.

Treatment of joints, muscles, or nerves if necessary

If your condition requires treatment with manual therapy, the physiotherapist will treat the joints, muscles, or nerves. This treatment aims to relieve pain in the short term to improve your movement and allow you to be more effective in doing your exercises at home. All our physiotherapists have advanced training in manual therapy and nerve treatment.

Answers to all questions or concerns related to the condition

At each treatment, the physiotherapist will check with you if you have any questions or concerns related to your condition. If so, they will take the time needed to discuss them with you.
Each follow-up physiotherapy appointment represents another step you take towards achieving your goals.
