Physiotherapy – Initial Assessments

Your journey with us will start with an assessment to reach a solid diagnosis – Our musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapists at FAB Clinic have a combines experience of over 35-40 years in practice and there’s not a condition we have not treated! With that said, sometimes there are more complicated conditions that pose a more complex diagnosis process. To ensure we overcome this, we offer ultrasound-aided initial assessments whereby your practitioner will probe your symptomatic joint with a advanced ultrasound machine to exhibit in real-time any abnormalities or hidden complications in order to assist with your diagnosis.

Physiotherapy can help manage these conditions through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education on proper movement techniques.

Now, sometimes, conventional physiotherapy cannot help relieve certain conditions due to factors such as inflammation, high pain levels, particularly limited rage of movement or chronicity. In such instances, your physiotherapist will recommend specialist treatments to help either break the pain cycle using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) or reduce inflammation by administering steroid injections.
