Physiotherapy can be accessed in the community at\n private clinics and through home care services. Physiotherapy services \nare often affiliated with retirement residences and child development \ncentres. If you are admitted to the hospital for surgery, such as a \njoint replacement or heart surgery, chances are likely that the \nphysiotherapist was an important member of your health care team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How physiotherapists assess<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A\n physiotherapist will assess you using detailed history-taking as well \nas specific physical tests and measures, such as flexibility or range of\n motion. He or she will then analyze the assessment findings and use \nclinical reasoning to establish a diagnosis. Together, you will explore \nyour current abilities and functional needs so the physiotherapist can \nplan treatments that are consistent with your goals and general health \nstatus, and which incorporate approaches and techniques supported by the\n best evidence available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How physiotherapists treat<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Physiotherapy treatments can include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Personalized exercise programs designed to improve your strength, range of motion, and function<\/li><li>Massage<\/li><li>Joint mobilization and manipulation to reduce pain and stiffness<\/li><li>Hot and cold packs and modalities to relieve pain, reduce swelling, speed up the healing process, improve movement and function<\/li><li>Airway clearance methods to assist people with breathing difficulties<\/li><li>Skin and wound care<\/li><li>Management of incontinence including pelvic floor re-education<\/li><li>Functional activity and tolerance testing and training<\/li><li>Work and occupational re-training and return to work planning<\/li><li>Prescription, fabrication and application of assistive, adaptive, supportive and protective devices and equipment<\/li><li>Environmental change, focusing on removing barriers to function<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payment and referral<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>For\n many Canadians, health insurance providers cover all cost or a portion \nof the cost of physiotherapist care. Some extended health insurance \nplans may require a physician\u2019s referral in order to reimburse you for \nphysiotherapist service, but it\u2019s not always necessary. Call your health\n insurance provider to confirm your level of coverage beforehand and to \ndetermine whether or not you require a physician referral for \nreimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physiotherapist\u2019s fees range from province to province and can vary with practice conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physiotherapy\n services provided in a hospital clinic may be paid in full or in part \nby your provincial health plan. Physiotherapist services provided to \npatients who require hospital admission are covered by provincial health\n plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken Verbatim from the CPA website without alterations&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where physiotherapists work Physiotherapists work in a broad range of settings providing client and\/or population health interventions as well as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-february-2018"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in2canada.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
