Physio East Services: At Physio East, we will assess you using detailed history-taking as well as specific physical tests and measures, such as flexibility or range of motion. We then analyze the assessment findings to establish a diagnosis so we can provide treatments with your goals and general health condition in mind. We have two clinic locations to serve you better, one located in Morell and one in Montague, both offer a number of difference services including: -Physiotherapy Assessments and Treatments - Concussion Management -Pre & Post Operative Treatment - Sports and Rehabilitation & Taping -Acupuncture & Dry Needling -Vestibular Rehabiliation -Orthotics -Custom Fitted Donjoy Braces -Running Assessments 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 Phyio 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. Running Assessments: Running continues to grow in popularity due to it's convenience and numerous health benefits, however up to 70% of runners are injured each year. You do not have to be experiencing pain or discomfort in order to benefit from a running assessment. Whether you are a seasoned runner looking to improve your running efficiency or just beginning to run and are looking to reduce your chance of being injured you can benefit from a running assessment. A running assessment lasts approximately an hour and consists of a detailed history and physical assessment. Video footage of the individual running from various angels will be taken and analyzed. Education regarding the individual's bio-mechanics and running style will be provided as well as therapeutic exercise if required. Vestibular Assessments: 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.
