Our Approach
At Riverside Therapeutics, our commitment is to provide the highest possible standard of care and service. Our treatment approach is client-specific, meaning that each assessment/treatment is tailored to each individual’s realities, goals and needs. Whether you are recovering from injury or surgery, managing a disease or a chronic problem or trying to maintain good health and prevent problems, our physiotherapists will work with you to determine your goals and customize your treatment plan to achieve them.
Each of our clients will be treated with care, respect and confidentiality that we ourselves would expect from any healthcare professional. Treatments will not solely be focused on relieving symptoms but particularly be focused on its cause. We will help improve your function while trying to empower you in helping yourself.
Our physiotherapists have vast and diverse experience having treated thousands of clients suffering from many types of problems, including sports injuries, running injuries, low back pain, whiplash, headaches, strains and sprains, post-op rehabilitation etc.
Our focus is centered on spending quality one-on-one time with each client. Providing highly skilled therapies for pain control, quality of life and return of optimal function. We will at all times function within their scope of practice while administering a multidisciplinary approach to meet any of your healthcare needs.
Our physiotherapists are either Fellows of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT) and/or have advanced training and clinical abilities in manual and manipulative therapy. Our physiotherapists have undergone extensive training following graduation from their entry-level physiotherapy programs in the area of orthopaedics and hands-on therapy. This research-based training helps our patients get better, recover faster and stay healthier to return to pain-free living.
