Active rehabilitation is a process where you actively participate in your recovery from injury or illness with guided exercises. Unlike passive treatments, you’re an active partner in regaining strength, flexibility, and function.

Many people can benefit! This includes those recovering from injuries (sports, car accidents, work-related), managing chronic pain, preparing for surgery, or simply wanting to improve their physical fitness and movement patterns.

While there’s overlap, Physiotherapy often focuses on diagnosis, manual therapy (hands-on techniques), and pain relief. Active Rehab emphasizes you performing exercises to rebuild strength and function, though many practitioners are trained in both!

Your initial session will involve assessment of your injury/condition, discussion of your goals, and a personalized treatment plan. We’ll explain everything clearly and answer all your questions.

Some discomfort is normal during rehab, but we prioritize pain management. Exercises will be tailored to your tolerance level, and we’ll teach you techniques to manage any soreness. We never want you to push through sharp or unbearable pain.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of your injury/condition, your progress, and your goals. Your therapist will discuss a realistic timeline with you.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. Athletic wear or loose-fitting clothes are ideal.
