What is Orthopedic Physiotherapy?
Orthopedic physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. Orthopedic physiotherapists work with patients to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries by using techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, and modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation. Our therapists provide education and advice on injury prevention and management during our initial consultation session. Orthopedic physiotherapy can help with conditions such as osteoarthritis, back pain, sprains and strains, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Who needs Orthopedic Physiotherapy?
Orthopedic physiotherapy may be beneficial for individuals who have conditions or injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system, such as:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that causes pain and stiffness.
-
Back Pain: Pain that originates in the muscles, nerves, bones, and other structures of the spine.

How does Orthopedic Physiotherapy work?
Orthopedic physiotherapy typically involves an initial assessment, during which our physiotherapist will evaluate your condition and discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals for treatment. Based on this assessment, we will create a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of the following techniques:
- Exercise: The physiotherapist will design a specific exercise program tailored to the patient's condition and goals. The exercises may focus on strengthening, stretching, and conditioning the affected muscles and joints.
- Manual Therapy: This includes techniques such as mobilization, Maitland Spinal and Peripheral manipulation,Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, Active release therapy, Cupping therapy and massage, which are used to improve the range of motion and function of the affected joints and muscles.
- Modalities: The physiotherapist may use various modalities to help reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms, such as heat and cold therapy, and dry needling.
- Education and Advice: The physiotherapist may provide clients with education and advice on injury prevention, self-management, and the use of assistive devices such as crutches or braces.
- Re-Assessment: Our physiotherapist will regularly reassess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed, according to your mobility and pain free living goals.
Orthopedic physiotherapy typically requires multiple sessions, and the frequency and duration of treatment will depend on the client’s condition and goals. Our physiotherapist will work closely with you to set realistic goals and monitor progress as needed to ensure complete mobility and pain free living.
We at Alleviate Physiotherapy believe in a well-rounded treatment protocol and believe that all our clients should achieve their goals of pain free living.
