Physiotherapy in Okotoks

Personalized Treatment for Your Unique Needs

Whether you’re experiencing a musculoskeletal injury, require post-surgical rehabilitation, or are seeking management for chronic pain, physiotherapy can help you achieve your goals. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your specific condition, medical history, and lifestyle factors.

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan that may incorporate hands-on techniques, targeted exercise programs, and specialized modalities. These include Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) or dry needling. We regularly reassess your progress and modify your treatment plan to ensure optimal outcomes tailored to your individual goals.

Advanced Specialized Techniques

Our physiotherapy services include several specialized techniques to address specific conditions:

Functional Dry Needling/IMS effectively targets trigger points to release muscle tightness and reduce pain
TMJ Physiotherapy focuses on addressing jaw pain and headaches through manual therapy and specialized exercises
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy treats dysfunction through customized exercises, hands-on therapy, and patient education
Vestibular Physiotherapy helps manage vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders by retraining the vestibular system

These advanced approaches allow for precisely targeted treatment customized to your specific needs.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your initial session includes a comprehensive assessment with physiotherapist Matthew Fiorentini. During the appointment, we’ll cover your medical history, current condition evaluation, and analysis of movement patterns or posture that may contribute to your symptoms. Depending on your specific issue, we might perform specialized tests to identify the root cause of the problem.

After this assessment, Matthew will explain his findings and outline a clear treatment plan. The session may include some initial hands-on therapy or specific exercise recommendations. You’ll have a clear understanding of your treatment plan and follow-up recommendations.

Complementary Approach to Wellness

Physiotherapy works incredibly well with our other health services, like chiropractic care and massage therapy. While chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility, and massage addresses muscle tension, physiotherapy complements these. How? By emphasizing functional movement, strength development, and comprehensive rehabilitation. This integrated approach leads to faster, more complete recovery and long-term health maintenance.

Education and Self-Management Tools

We believe that patient education is essential for successful outcomes. By providing information about your condition and equipping you with effective self-management strategies, we empower you to actively participate in your recovery. Our recommendations include home exercises tailored to your specific needs, focusing on improving strength, flexibility, and posture. These exercises are designed to easily integrate into your daily routine so you can maintain consistent progress between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic care?

Both approaches work beautifully together. Chiropractic care supports spinal alignment and joint mobility, helping the body move freely. Physiotherapy focuses on movement patterns, strength, and stability through guided exercises and hands-on care. Together, they create a balanced path toward better function, mobility, and well-being.

How long will it take to see results?

Everyone’s healing process is different. Some people notice changes within a few sessions, while others progress gradually as their body adapts. During your first visit, Matthew will outline a personalized plan and realistic timeline to support your goals and help you stay encouraged every step of the way.

What is dry needling and will it hurt?

Dry needling, also called IMS, uses very fine needles to release tight muscles and support natural recovery. You may feel a brief twitch or mild sensation as the muscle responds, but most people find the experience comfortable and appreciate the sense of ease that follows. Your comfort and understanding are always our priority.

Do I need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy?

No referral is required. You can book directly with us whenever you’re ready. During your first assessment, Matthew will review your health history, discuss your goals, and create a care plan designed to support your overall well-being. If medical input would be beneficial, we’ll guide you toward the right next steps.
