Physiotherapy Consultation
The first step in getting you moving and feeling better.
An experienced physiotherapist will take a comprehensive history of your problem by asking questions followed by a thorough biomechanical and orthopaedic physical examination. This detailed process will help to diagnose your condition and/or determine the physiotherapy plan that’s needed to help you feel better and recover as quickly as possible. To ensure that you receive the attention you deserve, we book a full hour for your initial physiotherapy consultation which also ensures that treatment can be initiated at the first visit.
Physiotherapy Treatment
Following an initial consultation, physical treatment emphasizing manual (hands-on) therapy and exercise with adjunctive modalities as necessary will be instituted. Treatment is done one-on-one with the same physiotherapist for the duration of the treatment plan without relying on assistants or aides. In order to ensure optimal one-on-one care, we only book 2 patients per hour at half-hour intervals so that you will receive a full 30 minutes of dedicated time with your physiotherapist. Often, your session may be longer than 30 minutes if you’re also receiving treatments such as electrotherapy, acupuncture or exercises in our modern and fully-equipped gym following your one-on-one time which are all included as part of the physiotherapy session.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
We have several physiotherapists on our team with specialized training in the area of pelvic health physiotherapy, also known as ‘pelvic floor physiotherapy’.
Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when there is an issue (usually tightness, laxity and/or weakness) with the muscles and/or nerves of the pelvic floor, or in the surrounding skeletal structure. It is common to have a dysfunction in the pelvic floor: the muscles surround the urethra, rectum, vagina and prostate. As a result, weakness and tightness of the muscles, connective tissues, and nerves can result in urinary, bowel or sexual dysfunction in men and women.
Lactation and Mastitis Physiotherapy
Breastfeeding shouldn’t be painful, but sometimes it can be if you have blocked/plugged milk ducts or mastitis. At Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy, we have several physiotherapists trained in the treatment of inflammatory breast conditions associated with breastfeeding. In particular, we use therapeutic ultrasound with sensitive care and attention to the specific needs of lactating breast tissue. Although relatively uncommon in Canada, physiotherapists in Australia have been using therapeutic ultrasound for decades to treat painful and swollen breast tissue in breastfeeding moms. With ultrasound treatments, the painful symptoms related to blocked or clogged milk ducts can often be dramatically improved.

Our expert practitioners design personalized orthotic solutions to address foot, ankle, and lower limb issues, providing relief from discomfort and improving overall biomechanical function.
