Physiotherapy

The Right Treatments to Help You Recover Faster

Physiotherapy can help just about anyone, at any stage of life.

While it’s common to think of it as rehabilitation – made necessary by chronic conditions or serious injury – our physiotherapy services can help almost anyone improve their range of movement and lead a more active, independent life.

In fact, physiotherapy can also be a useful preventative tool, helping to ensure that your body is ready to withstand strenuous activity. Athletes frequently use physiotherapy to ensure that minor injuries heal faster, don’t become aggravated, and don’t recur.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a great non-surgical alternative for conditions which cause chronic pain such as tendinitis. At HealthMax Physiotherapy Clinics, we provide shockwave therapy because it’s one of the most modern treatments for chronic pain and rehabilitation.

The Treatment

Shockwave therapy is applied in sessions and is designed to accelerate healing while decreasing pain. Shockwave therapy stimulates cells which promotes growth and energy within the cell. The treatment also stimulates blood flow, caused more blood to reach the affected area which accelerates the healing process. Shockwave therapy also decreases muscle tones and spasms, ensuring that pain is decreased.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

At HealthMax Physiotherapy, we use spinal decompression therapy which is a great non-surgical way to deal with back and neck pain. Spinal decompression therapy directly affects the structures associated with the back and neck. The human spine is essentially dozens of bones which are stacked on top of each other. These bones are positioned and cushioned by a gel-like disc called the intervertebral disc. Repetitive movement of the spine or poor posture will often degenerate the joints surrounding the spine which affects the intervertebral disc.

The Treatment

Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to be painless and has proven to be highly effective for those who suffer from back and neck pain. The procedure involves a patient lying flat , either face up or on their back. Parameters are entered into a computer and pressure is relieved from the spine for 30-45 minutes.

BioFlex Laser Therapy

At HealthMax Physiotherapy, we use BioFlex Laser Therapy as a treatment. Cells which are distressed simply lack energy. BioFlex Laser Therapy promotes energy rich molecules in these distressed cells which will help promote recovery. Distressed cells that undergo laser treatment receive more energy through the infrared light, stimulating soft tissue and accelerating the healing time.

Other Benefits

Another benefit to laser therapy is the fact that it promotes oxygen in the immediate area, which increases blood flow and assists with circulation within the body to the affected areas. Laser therapy’s most significant benefit is that it stimulates the natural process which occurs in the cell, creating better recovery times and eliminating pain.

What is Aquatic Therapy?

Aquatic therapy has been used to treat a wide range of ailments and injuries including: neurological disorders, musculoskeletal pain, sports-related injuries and rehabilitation, arthritis, back and neck pain, impaired balance, chronic pain and much more. Aquatic Therapy is especially effective in the rehabilitation of motor vehicle accident injuries.

Aquatic therapy differs from normal aquatic exercise or aquatic fitness because it is a form of physical treatment and rehabilitation that requires the oversight of a trained professional to ensure that it’s done properly and safely.

Why Our Aquatic Physical Therapy Is The Perfect Choice To Help Heal Your Body

There are a wide range of reasons why aquatic therapy is an excellent way to treat your physical injuries and ailments.

Where Concussion Management Begins

When you start to treat concussions before they happen, you minimize the symptoms.

As doctors and therapists continue to learn more from concussion research, it’s clear that early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment.

Concussion management begins with baseline testing. As a brain injury, concussions are often difficult to diagnose. Brain function varies from person to person and what may be a symptom in one might be a normal function in another.

By measuring brain function in individuals before they suffer an injury, the effects of a concussion are more accurately and easily identified, which leads to faster, more effective treatment.

Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain is continuous, long-term pain that lasts for months, and in some cases, even years. Unlike acute pain, which has a known cause and is resolved when the cause is no longer present, chronic pain often results from an unidentifiable cause or may exist long after recovery from an initial injury. Diseases such as arthritis or cancer can also play a causal role in the development of chronic pain. Here at Healthmax Physiotherapy we understand that chronic pain makes it difficult for you to complete your daily activities and lead a normal life. We offer chronic pain treatment plans that are tailored to your individual condition, diagnosis and desired expectations.

Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to relieve this pain and discomfort, and to optimize the function of your nervous system and the rest of your body.

Psychological Evaluations

It is important that we first identify the issues you face before recommending a treatment plan.

Play Therapy Toronto – Healthmax

What is Play Therapy?

When your child has experienced a motor vehicle accident it can leave them with physical and psychological trauma.

Play therapy is a well researched technique – a way for your child to express their thoughts and feelings through a variety of activities in a safe and controlled environment.

Play-based healing allows them to work through their unique challenges by using their natural desire to play and learn.

Play therapy differs from traditional forms of adult therapy that can actually prevent your child from breaking through barriers – such as demanding words, explanations and adult reasoning.
