Our Physiotherapist's are specialty trained in
Custom Orthotics |
Custom orthotics are made to help improve mis-alignments in the foot, help posture, or relieve any pain in the foot, leg or back. Custom orthotics are different from inserts that can be bought at a store because they are specially made to fit the unique shape of an individual's foot. At Physio East we use two methods to make your orthotics. A cast is made by taking an impression of your feet, one at a time. Your bare foot is placed into the box, making the surface conform. After the foot is taken out of the box, the unique shape of your foot appears. The molds are sent to Footmaxx, who uses techniques that help stabilize the foot and correct any problems. We also use a specially designed computer mat. When you walk on this mat it senses the pressure points on your foot as well as your gait. Your completed custom orthotics are delivered within weeks. For more information, visit Footmaxx. **Orthotics at our Morell Location only** |
Vestibular Rehabilitation |
The vestibular system is responsible for providing an individual with information regarding balance and eye movements. The vestibular system may experience dysfunction due to bio-mechanics factors, viral/bacterial infections or trauma (whiplash, concussion). Symptoms that can be related to the vestibular system include vertigo (dizziness), feeling imbalanced and migraines. At your appointment we will conduct a vestibular assessment which includes a detailed history of symptoms as well as a physical assessment. The physical portion of a vestibular assessment is to determine specific positions or movements that provoke symptoms described by the individual. We will will identify problems with your neck motion, visual stability and your gait (how you walk). The number of treatments required will vary depending on the type of vestibular dysfunction. **Provided at Montague and Morell Clinics** |
Running Assessment |
A running assessment may be beneficial to someone who:
A running assessment begins with a thorough history which may include discussing: injuries (past & present), mileage, terrain, training program, competitive goals, footwear etc. The client’s running biomechanics will then be assessed on a treadmill. The practitioner will discuss findings of the biomechanical assessment and test possible strength and range of motion deficits in the client. Manual therapy, education and exercise are used to help the runner to accomplish their goals. **Running Assessment at our Montague Location only** |
Pelvic Floor |
Pelvic health concerns are far too common amongst people of various ages, yet they are rarely talked about due to social stigmas. As a result, many people suffer alone in silence and shame without realizing that there are effective & evidence-based treatment options available to them. Physio East aims to break this silence by educating and empowering the patient, to understand and utilize these solutions effectively. This resource provides patients with a comprehensive guide where they can access up-to-date information on pelvic health. By educating patients on pelvic health dysfunction and physiotherapy, we hope to guide individuals to find gentle, safe and effective solutions for pelvic health issues including pelvic pain, pelvic girdle problems, painful intercourse, bladder & bowel incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. **Pelvic Floor at our Morell Location only** |
