Physio

 

As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. With your independence in mind, a physiotherapist's goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being. Physiotherapists prescribe personalized therapeutic exercises, and provide essential education about the body, what keeps it from moving well, how to restore mobility and independence, and how to avoid or prevent bodily harm.

Physiotherapy is a practice of medicine in which physiotherapists work with a diverse client base of all ages with a wide variety of health conditions. Assessing their different needs related to mobility, physical function and movement is all part of physiotherapy and its goal to help others with injuries or conditions to live a more comfortable lifestyle. Several physical tests and measures are taken, and with strong clinical reasoning the physiotherapist will provide the client with a detailed diagnosis. In order to properly treat the diagnosis, physiotherapy works to plan treatments that are consistent with the patient’s goals and health conditions. All techniques used are critiqued by our experts and are supported with evidence. Physiotherapy has a variety of treatment methods focusing on rehabilitation, pain management and chronic conditions which are treated accordingly.

A skilled Physical Therapist is equipped to assess, diagnose, treat & educate regarding the various presentations of TMD. Common Symptoms: Painful or clicking jaw Jaw stuck open or closed Muscular tension or fatigue through the cheeks or temple regions Grinding teeth Restricted range of motion of the jaw Difficulty chewing food These symptoms can appear either or slowly over time, or suddenly, for no apparent reason. They can also present with a sudden adolescent growth spurt, trauma to the face, sporting injuries, whiplash, dental or orthodontic work, or stress/anxiety resulting in tension and grinding. Self Care Strategies: Avoid hard or chewy foods, especially gum. Correct neck posture. Maintain a slight distance between the teeth in a rest position. Avoid repetitive movements of the jaw. If you are concerned about any of the above symptoms, or other unlisted concerns, have a Physical Therapist assess you to determine if you require a course of treatment and/or prescribe home based exercises and appropriate self management strategies.
