Athletic Therapy
Regardless of how you suffered a muscle, bone or joint injury, our
therapists can determine the type and cause of your pain and help you
get back to normal by utilizing a variety of rehabilitative techniques.
Comprehensive multi-hour per day programming:
Program length can vary between 4-12 weeks depending on the severity of the injury and the physical demands of the job to which the individual is returning.
Program will include a bio-mechanical assessment and regular treatment, regional and global conditioning, functional conditioning to develop specific work tolerances, job analysis, 1 on 1 client education regarding stages of tissue healing, principles of hurt versus harm and functional model of recovery as well as functional abilities examinations and aerobic assessments at regular intervals to monitor client's progress on program. Individuals can be assessed by a Physiatrist and/or a Psychologist. A medically monitored return to work program can be coordinated if requested.
Regular reports are generated at four week intervals, summarizing care and progress.
Registered Massage Therapy

therapists can promote health, prevent dysfunction, relieve pain,
rehabilitate, and help you to relax.
Physical Medicine Assessment
For doctors in the community requiring a physical medicine assessment.
Independent Medical Examination
Thorough physical medicine assessment when trying to clarify
diagnosis or determine the reason for prolonged recovery. This is often
helpful when the medical history is very complicated and requires
deciphering.
Facilitated Collaborative Rehabilitation Assessment
Similar
to a multidisciplinary assessment. Patients first go through an intake
assessment with the Health Management Specialist, followed by an
assessment and functional abilities examination with a physiotherapist
and occupational therapist, followed by an examination by Dr. Lesiuk. A
report is then prepared and recommendation are made based on the
examination findings and the results of the functional testing. This can
be helpful in determining whether a person is a candidate for a
reconditioning program, or fit to return to work.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
Designed
to asses the individual's current functional abilities and to identify
any potential restrictions with respect to the specific demands of their
duties in the work place. Comprehensive testing takes place over one to
two days. Recommendations may be provided to assist in resorting
function and to expedite a return to employment.
Functional Abilities Examination
4-5
of the clients critical job demands are functionally tested to
establish a baseline for reconditioning or work hardening programs.
Rehabilitation/reconditioning Assessments
When
a reconditioning/work hardening program has been recommended, an intake
assessment is done with the Health Management Specialist and a physical
assessment and functional abilities examination is performed by a
physiotherapist and an occupational therapist to establish a baseline.
This information is then used to determine the focus of the program, and
provides a benchmark for future functional testing results, which helps
to determine the clients functional progress throughout the program.
