OT Physiotherapy offers Active Rehabilitation by experienced Kinesiologists who specialize in return to function and strength and conditioning. The goal of our programs is to return clients to their pre-injury work and to their activities of daily living and leisure. Programs start with a movement screen and functional testing to identify a base line of function. The Kinesiologists then work one-on-one with clients during one hour sessions, two to three times per week. While progressing clients through a variety of activities or tasks, our therapists provide education regarding correct exercise technique, postural awareness, and proper movement patterns. Our Kinesiologists educate and empower their clients so that clients can take control of their rehabilitation.
