Once clients have had an assessment of their injury, the physiotherapists at Wave use a variety of treatment methods to restore proper joint mechanics and pain-free function as well as to prevent reoccurrence of injury. These treatment methods are combined with ongoing client education ensuring our services are proactive and effective.

Approach

We aim to provide a personalized,client-centered and team approach to care. Our physiotherapists do a comprehensive individual assessment for each client aimed at determining the root of the problem. We listen to our clients to determine their specific treatment goals. We focus on patient education during these assessments by explaining the nature of the injuries, the treatment approach, and services we recommend, the prognosis and prevention of reoccurrence. We communicate openly our findings and progress with all the members of our client’s health care team, from their doctor to massage therapist.

Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy involves the physiotherapists use of his or her hands to mobilize the joints of the spine and extremities, create movement in nerve tissue or facilitate the activation, flexibility and normal tone of muscle. Several different techniques can be used to restore normal motion and regain control of that motion. This allows each region of the body to move fully, efficiently and safely.

Exercise Therapy

Exercise therapy involves identifying faulty movement patterns and then providing you with specific mobility, stability, strength and balance exercises to correct for the faulty patterns in order to relieve symptoms and improve function. Continued exercise is an important component of injury prevention.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

IMS is a needling technique that helps to reduce adverse tone in tight muscle bands or trigger points that contribute to pain and dysfunction. By targeting localized areas of tightness with the needle insertion a reflex relaxation is produced in the muscle. This helps to relieve pressure on tender joint structures and in the muscles themselves which in turn influences pain and inflammation produced by the adverse tightness. A special assessment is done to determine if this modality of treatment is appropriate for you.
