Neck And Back Pain

Our physiotherapists have been advancing their skills during our shutdown and are keen to help you get out of pain and on the road to feeling your best. With the use of PPE, ample disinfection practices, screening and more, we can get back to using our hand-on skills while keeping you safe.

Two of the most common types of pain: neck and back pain, affect a large percentage of the population.

Physiotherapy can help ease this stiffness, tension, and pain with hands-on techniques, while teaching you self-help strategies and exercises to manage your symptoms and prevent recurrence.

These frequently happen when the physical demands of a sport become too much for the body. Looking at things like overall health, training, specific movements, strength and mobility, we can target the missing links contributing to breakdown and injury.

We will then work with you to develop a customized treatment plan to address these factors. As you progress, you will learn strategies you can use to prevent your injury from recurring.

FAQ's

Here are answers to some of the commonly asked physiotherapy questions we get asked.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit to Thrive Therapy will be booked as an assessment; your physiotherapist will spend approximately an hour with you. They will begin by asking you specific questions to get a complete picture of your condition, current symptoms and past history.

 

Next, your physiotherapist will take you through a movement assessment, examining both your area of pain, as well as identifying underlying causes and contributing factors.

 

This will be followed by education about your condition and discussion of your treatment options. Your physiotherapist will then provide you with one or more of the following: hands-on therapy, specific exercises, and pain-relieving tips and tricks.

How long will the appointment be?

All initial appointments are one hour and follow-up appointments will be approximately 45 minutes.

Do I need to come early for my first appointment?

Please note, that in the time of COVID-19, in order to allow for proper social distancing, we will not be using our waiting room. Please see the “What To Expect” page(link here) for more information.

 

Many clinics will require you to arrive 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time to fill out paperwork. Since our clinic is paperless, an electronic form will be sent to you upon booking your first appointment, so you will not need to arrive early for your session.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable, loose clothing is best. Your therapist will be completing a thorough examination, and may need to examine areas beyond the site of your pain. We have gowns and shorts for you to borrow, or you are welcome to bring your own shorts or loose tank top.

Do I need a doctors note?

No. You do not need a doctor’s prescription to access our services; however, some insurance companies may need a referral for reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to determine if you need a doctor’s referral to access your physiotherapy benefits.
