How Does Physiotherapy Work?
Our Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to encourage the body to heal & repair itself, while restoring your function and decreasing pain.
Your Physiotherapist can use a combination of soft tissue techniques, cupping therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, ultrasound, stretches and prescribing exercises.
When you come for your first appointment, your physiotherapist will perform and thorough assessment of your pain or injury. This will help them identify the root cause of what’s your issues and will work with you to formulate a plan to help you achieve your goals.
Your appointment will always consist of a hands-on portion where they provide immediate relief to the area of pain, either by massaging it, stretching, acupuncture, or maybe even cupping. Some physiotherapists might use ultrasound or IFC to help reduce your inflammation to provide you with pain relief.
During your physiotherapy session you will also be provided with some exercises to help you strengthen your areas of weakness or stretch out tight muscles to reduce your pain and keep you moving.
Do I need a Doctor’s Notes?
No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to come to our Physiotherapy clinics. However, check with your insurance company to see if you need one for reimbursement. If you have any ultrasound/x-ray/MRI/CT results, please bring them in! Your physiotherapist can review the results with you.

Hands-on Physiotherapy sessions to effectively target your pain

At Axis Therapy & Performance we provide hands-on care from the get go during all our physiotherapy sessions!
