The short answer is–Absolutely! In fact, at Monarch Physiotherapy Clinic, we actually encourage you to continue seeing your physiotherapist even after your symptoms appear to have resolved.

Why? Because often, even though you feel better, you may still not be fully rehabilitated. Furthermore, regular physiotherapy can prevent future injury or pain while helping you optimize your overall physical performance and function.

Physiotherapy is a comprehensive and ongoing process, not a one-and-done. Even after you’ve completed your initial round of treatment, our therapists can help you develop a personalized maintenance plan that ensures you’re continuing to maximize your potential, even after your recovery.

Here’s an example of maintenance plans that allow you to continue enjoying physiotherapy many benefits:

• Your therapist assigns you a series of specialized at-home exercises so you can continue to strengthen your muscles and improve your range of motion.
• You come in for a re-evaluation after a month to ensure your home exercise program is working as intended.
• You schedule check-in appointments at regular intervals (such as every six months) to ensure you haven’t regressed and to address any new developments.

Our therapists will also develop a return-to-activity schedule so you can safely return to your favorite sport or workout program without risking reinjury. A return-to-activity schedule involves gradually increasing the intensity of certain movements until you can operate as usual.

The physiotherapists at Monarch Physiotherapy Clinic are here to help you succeed–even after you’ve completed your treatment. To get started, request an appointment today!

Firstly, it’s essential to understand what a diagnosis is. Essentially, it’s a process by which an expert identifies the cause or nature of a disease, disorder, or other medical condition. This process typically involves collecting information about a patient's symptoms, medical history, and physical examination results.

Physiotherapy aims to optimize your health and fitness by addressing your concerns comprehensively, including diagnosis when necessary. While a diagnosis plays a crucial role in this process, it's not the sole focus of a physiotherapy visit. Our goal is to find effective solutions to your concerns and provide the appropriate treatment.

To ensure we understand your symptoms and condition accurately, our physiotherapist will begin by conducting a thorough physical examination and reviewing your health history, including any previous diagnoses you've received. Additionally, we may collaborate with physicians to confirm or explore potential contradictions to a diagnosis, ensuring the accuracy of your diagnosis and the suitability of your treatment plan.

You can trust the team at Monarch Physiotherapy Clinic to consider any conditions you’ve been diagnosed with, alongside other key factors, when they develop your customized treatment plan. We’re committed to examining your specific circumstances as we work through your physiotherapy!
