Physiotherapy Assessments in Bradford
Physiotherapy Assessments in Bradford West Gwillimbury
At WellCare Medical, our registered physiotherapists complete comprehensive physiotherapy assessments to identify the root causes of pain, stiffness, weakness, and mobility limits. Your assessment connects findings to a personalized plan across our integrated services—physiotherapy, chiropractic, registered massage therapy, acupuncture, and custom orthotics. Access is simple with direct insurance billing, acceptance of work benefits, and private billing packages when needed.
What to Expect During Your Physiotherapy Assessment
Your visit includes a history review, posture and gait screens, joint range-of-motion testing, strength and endurance profiling, and functional movement tasks (e.g., squatting, hinging, lifting). We also evaluate balance and coordination when appropriate, then map the results to your goals—return to work, sport, or confident daily movement. You’ll leave with an initial plan that may include symptom relief strategies, targeted mobility, and a graded strength pathway. Where appropriate, we coordinate with our chiropractic adjustments team, massage therapists, and acupuncturist to support faster progress.
Conditions & Goals We Commonly Assess
We regularly assess acute and persistent issues—from sports injuries and post-surgery rehab to chronic pain, postural problems, and mobility & balance issues. For tendon and ligament concerns, we track capacity using staged loading as outlined in our tendon & ligament injury program. If your pain began after a collision or workplace incident, we align care and documentation with MVA rehab and WSIB processes for a smoother path back to function.
From Assessment to Plan: Clear Steps & Documentation
Following your assessment, you’ll receive a plain-language summary of key findings and a phased plan (symptom relief → mobility/control → strength/endurance → task return). We provide home exercises with dosage, progression criteria, and pacing to avoid flare-ups. When needed, we liaise with your employer or insurer, and we can add a Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) or refer for psychological assessment to address barriers like stress or low mood. Intake is streamlined with our patient intake forms and direct billing.
