What can I expect during my initial visit?
On your first visit, you'll meet with our physiotherapist, who will do a comprehensive examination. The assessment will include a thorough history taking and a physical examination. The physical examination will include (but may not be limited to) an evaluation of your range of motion, muscle strength, and various functional activities. Based on your assessment results, our physiotherapist will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your goals and we'll collaborate with our Kinesiologist to develop an individualized exercise program for you. After that, you'll be assigned to one of our kinesiologists who will give one-on-one exercise therapy under the instruction of your physiotherapist. To monitor your objectives and assess your progress, our physiotherapist will provide for reassessment if necessary
How Long Are The Visits?
The initial visit with our physiotherapist may be anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. PDK sessions can be scheduled for either 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour long.

“I decided to see Jamie Sonego. She was very thorough in her assessment and then immediately went to work on the area of concern. She also gave me some exercises to do at home and followed up with another treatment and additional exercises the next week. I have already noticed some progress so I am pleased with the results.!”
