Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists offer injury prevention and treatment, global assessment, biomechanical, running pattern and shoe analysis, as well as basic preventive advice to runners. The sports physio component of the clinic goes even further. The firm joins forces with the Au Rythme de nos foulées race in Châteauguay and the Défi X-Training in Beauharnois to provide support and expertise to athletes.

Perineal reeducation can help! There are some ailments that aren’t easy to talk about, even to your doctor. For many women, urinary incontinence is one of them. These problems arise when the pelvic floor muscles stop working properly.

Perineal re-education aims to re-learn the correct use of the perineal muscles and strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles.

Our physiotherapists use radial shockwave therapy to reduce pain caused by chronic conditions such as chronic shoulder tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, epicondylitis, Achilles tendon tendinopathy, patellar tendon tendinopathy and other chronic conditions. Treatments are spread over 3 to 4 sessions, 1 week apart. Post-treatment telephone follow-up will be carried out by the physiotherapist responsible for the patient.

The use of needles under the dermis is an increasingly popular technique in the world of physiotherapy. This method is a supplement to the other techniques used by a physiotherapist during conventional treatment. It involves the insertion of needles without the injection of liquid. The effectiveness of this technique depends on a number of factors. For example, the insertion of a dry needle creates small lesions that reactivate surrounding tissue repair. It can also enable the physiotherapist to deactivate trigger points in the musculature, and create an analgesic effect in the treated area. This technique is indicated for all musculoskeletal problems, such as migraines, neck, back and lumbar pain and/or sprains, tendonitis, chronic pain, etc. It’s important to note that this technique is distinct from acupuncture, since the latter is based on Chinese medicine and meridian concepts. Physiotherapeutic puncture is limited to local treatment of the affected area.

Did you know that your temporomandibular joint (jaw) can benefit from the services of a physiotherapist just like any other joint in the body? Jaw pain or locking (difficulty opening your mouth) are examples of problems that may lead you to consult a physiotherapist. A problem with the temporomandibular joint can also cause headaches, neck pain, difficulty chewing and so on.

The physiotherapist will assess your condition and establish an appropriate treatment plan with you. Treatment may include manual therapy, muscle relaxation, exercise instruction or electrotherapy, depending on your condition. Don’t hesitate to consult a physiotherapy professional for your jaw problem!

Orthopedic manual therapy is a physiotherapy treatment modality. It includes manual techniques (soft-tissue techniques, mobilizations and/or manipulations) as well as therapeutic exercises, with the aim of restoring mobility, function and pain. It’s an individualized therapeutic approach that takes into account the physiotherapist’s assessment of your condition and recognized evidence.

Vertigo is the most common symptom of a vestibular disorder. Vertigo is a sensation of movement, of the environment or of the person. About one person in seven seems to have experienced vertigo at some time in his or her life. Vertigo is often experienced as an emergency by those who suffer from it, whereas in the vast majority of cases, vertigo is a benign manifestation. Generally triggered by a change in head position, vertigo is brief and can lead to nausea and vomiting. Vertigo corresponds to an anomaly in the regulation of the vestibular system, the part of the inner ear involved in balance and posture. In physiotherapy, your professional will assess your condition using a detailed questionnaire and a series of positioning tests/maneuvers. A personalized treatment plan will then be drawn up. In most cases, this will include vestibular rehabilitation.
