Benefits: How Richmond Physiotherapy Facilitates Healing

Under the care of our degreed clinical specialists, patients gain both immediate symptom relief and lasting solutions for returning to the activities they love. Located in Richmond, BC, and serving Broadmoor, Seafair, and South Arm, we provide comprehensive physiotherapy designed to optimize recovery.

Initial Relief of Pain and Swelling – We begin with gentle hands-on interventions to alleviate discomfort along with passive modalities like heat or ice to manage inflammation so individuals can fully engage in therapy sessions.

Regaining Mobility and Flexibility – Carefully progressing range of motion, stretching, and soft tissue work restore sliding mobility between muscles and surrounding bony structures to enhance fluidity and control of movements like rotating your neck or reaching overhead.

Building Strength and Coordination – Motor control and muscular endurance deficits are systematically rebuilt through targeted functional exercises allowing complex tasks like walking up stairs with proper alignment and weight distribution.

Retraining Proper Movement Patterns – We repattern dysfunctional mechanics during daily bending, lifting, and overhead motions through verbal, hands-on, and tactile cueing to prevent chronic overuse and future injury.

What conditions does physiotherapy address? –  From back pain to vertigo, physiotherapists treat a wide spectrum of orthopedic, neurological, and cardiovascular conditions causing movement restrictions or disabilities. PT also aids recovery after surgeries like total joint replacement. We support residents in Broadmoor, Seafair, South Arm, and surrounding Richmond communities.

How often should sessions be scheduled? –  Frequency varies based on severity but typically ranges from 2-3 times per week over 6-12 weeks depending on factors like stages of tissue healing. More intensive needs like post-CVA rehabilitation may involve daily therapy. Know your case is fully customized.

Should rest be integrated into therapy? –  While gentle activity boosts blood flow integral to repair processes, sufficient rest allows the body and central nervous system to assimilate the benefits. Your therapist advises on integrating restorative rest and active recovery. We tailor all recommendations to your unique healing timeline and energy levels.
