Physiotherapy is the art of restoration, maintenance and promotion of optimal physical function (APTA).
A physiotherapist is a regulated healthcare professional who is skilled in the assessment, diagnosis and management of physical problems. A physiotherapist can determine the cause of the dysfunction through a detailed physical examination, and develop a treatment and rehabilitation program specifically designed for each individual.
Physiotherapy is not limited to rehabilitation of injury and the effects of disease or disability. The treatment also provides education and advice for promoting wellness and preventing disease and injury.
When daily life is changed due to an injury, accident, chronic medical condition or re-injury, a physiotherapist can help get you back to doing the activities you enjoy. You will be assessed by the registered physiotherapist to determine range of motion, muscle strength, postural alignment and abnormalities in movement patterns, body mechanics and quality of movement with daily activities.
According to your assessment results, a personalized plan of care will be designed to meet your recovery goals.
At Physio Village Clinic (PVC), we encourage our clients to take responsibility for their health and participate in a team approach to care at our physiotherapy clinics in Brampton.

Sports Injury
Playing sports, whether professionally or just for fun, offers a lot of benefits.
But sometimes, sports and related activities can result in muscle and joint problems; particularly contact sports such as hockey, football, basketball and soccer, even non-contact sports like golf, tennis and swimming can result in some injuries like muscle strains and tears, joint sprains, joint subluxation and dislocation, tendonitis, bursitis and myofascial pain.
When those problems persist, they can impact not only your game, but also your overall quality of life. At PVC, our approach to the rehabilitation of sports injuries is quite often different than our approach to general rehabilitation.
The competitive nature of athletics typically necessitates a more aggressive approach, and the unique demands of a given sport often require the intervention to be “sport specific”.
Our goal is for a quick and safe return to activities. Some injuries may lead to surgical interference such as ACL reconstruction, knees arthroscopy, meniscal repairs, rotator cuff repairs, and tendon and ligament repairs. The aim of PVC physiotherapists is to treat, rehabilitate, recondition and to help facilitate a safe return of the athlete to the pre-injury activity level, and also to prevent recurrence of the problem. With over 20 years of experience in sports injuries rehab including working with elite soccer clubs; we’re available to evaluate your condition and recommend a personalized course of treatment. Don’t suffer from a sports-related injury when help is available. Call us to schedule your free consultation.NeuroKinetic Therapy
What happens if you hurt yourself as a result of back pains, neck pains or joint pains? Your body will respond by creating a compensation pattern or a new motor program where it utilizes available muscles and structures to protect affected body parts and keep you going.
This pattern will continue since the body has no mechanism for regaining the normal motor pattern again. For example, let’s say that you have a shoulder pain that is painful when you raise your shoulder up 90 degrees. Your body will “turn off” the muscles that elevate the shoulder while tightening the muscles that bring the shoulder down to prevent you from further elevation of the shoulder.
This will last even after the original trauma to the shoulder has resolved, as the body does not have a mechanism to reverse this motor pattern. This abnormal pattern will create an imbalance between muscles, and as a result, some muscles will be overworking, others will be under working making the problem more persistent and long-lasting.
So how can NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) help to treat those compensation patterns?
NKT is a form of manual therapy that uses the motor control theory to help with regaining the normal motor pattern of the affected body parts.
Once the NKT practitioner detects the pattern, he/she will alert the body to the problem, then utilize manual therapy techniques to restore the balance between muscles and implement the correct motor pattern. The result will be immediate relief of pains and restoration of mobility. Our skilled physiotherapists are well trained in NK technique and they are able to bring in immediate relief of most of your pains. Call us at any time to schedule a free assessment.
