Wellington Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy treats patients with neurological conditions, which are movement and functional disorders caused by impairments affecting the brain, spinal cord and the nervous system.

Many patients with neurological conditions struggle with a loss of range of motion or function, muscle weakness, decreased balance and stamina, which may severely affect their daily routines. Targeted to improve strength, movement, balance and coordination, neurological physiotherapy works by stimulating the nervous system through various activities and exercises.

In-home physiotherapy is one-on-one physiotherapy service for patients living in Ottawa and its surrounding area. Our team can treat you in your home, residence home or in long-term care.

Some people may find it inconvenient leaving their house for physiotherapy, which could be due to mobility impairments, neurological conditions, pain, recent surgery or other disease processes.

The in-home physiotherapy service includes an assessment and an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your recovery goals. Your recovery goals could be recovering from an injury, reducing pain, improving your balance, walking or mobility to increase independence and perform the activities you enjoy.

The first session usually begins with an assessment of your current condition to create an individualized program for your recovery. Our physiotherapists will gather your medical history and information about your current problem, health, mobility background and goals as part of the assessment and develop an individualized treatment plan for your needs. Our physiotherapists can use hands-on techniques to assess and treat your condition. We may also bring some pain relief or exercise equipment as needed to help with your physiotherapy needs. We are happy to coordinate the treatment plan with your existing medical team and caregivers during our home visits.

Orthopaedic physio treats any condition related to bone, muscle and joint problems. Sports physio is more specific treatment for an injury occuring from overuse or trauma from athletic activity.

A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, among others.

Through collaboration between trained healthcare practitioners, educated coaches and trainers, and informed parents and athletes, the Complete Concussion Management system educates and empowers all those involved in sport to recognize concussions, and take the necessary steps to help an athlete safely return to sport.
