History
Established in 1995.
Activa Physiotherapy Ottawa offers Manual Therapy and Modern Electrotherapy and Modalities, including Shockwave Therapy. Physiotherapy treatment begins with extensive assessment, which includes your health history, evaluation of pain and movement patterns, strength, joint range of motion, your reflexes and sensation. Physiotherapy assessment includes measures of functional movement, gait analysis, posture and balance.
Based on the assessment, your physiotherapist establishes a diagnosis and works in partnership with you to develop your personalized treatment program to help you establish and achieve set goals.
We evaluate and guide you in performing therapeutic exercises between appointments. Your progress will be monitored at follow-up visits and your treatment will be adjusted according to progress. By combining principles of evidence-based practice, evaluative skills, clinical and professional judgment, we work closely with you and our health care professionals to meet your goals
