What will a Physiotherapy session look like? The Physiotherapist will conduct a series of orthopaedic tests to assess movement. Some of the movements will be performed by you, others, by the physiotherapist. Assessment involves the reproduction of your symptoms for diagnosis and treating planning. Please do not hesitate to tell the Physiotherapist anything that you are not comfortable doing. The initial visit will include both assessment and treatment.

Acupuncture is a main component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Working to guide our bodies in the right direction, it stimulates the nervous system to restore balance in the body and to promote our innate healing abilities.

An acupuncturist assesses the patient, makes a TCM-based diagnosis, forms an individualized treatment plan, reassesses the patient to modify the treatment plan accordingly, and maintains the treatment results.

Under the umbrella of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are numerous modalities including Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion and etc. Acupuncture is the insertion of needles on the appropriate points. Cupping is creating partial vacuum in cups/jars in different areas of the body. Gua Sha is scraping different parts of the body with a special tool and Moxibustion is burning of herbs on a point to warm the body. However, acupuncture is the most important component of TCM, while other modalities play only a supporting role.

The initial assessment will consist of 20-30 minutes of assessment and explanation of TCM and 30-40 minutes of treatment. A 45-minute follow-up session will consist of 30 minutes of treatment of the primary concern. While a 60-minute follow-up session will consist of 30 minutes of treatment of the more serious side (Example: Treatment facing down for Lower Back Pain as the primary concern) and 15 minutes of the less serious side (Example: Treatment facing up for Knee Pain).

During the treatment the Acupuncturist will needle all of the necessary points. Then, they will leave the room for the patient to relax on his/her own. They will come back every 5-15 minutes, depending on the case, to check if everything is okay or if the patient needs anything. After the treatment, the Acupuncturist will remove all of the needles and will make sure none of the points are bleeding.
