What to Expect During the Session?

Assessment & Treatment

A Neuro Zone Physiotherapist will come to your home for the first appointment to carry out an in-depth neurological assessment.  The results of this assessment will provide a baseline and together with your therapist, you will set goals and come up with a treatment plan.

 

Every treatment plan will be individualized and will depend on the condition, physical goals, support at home and finances.  Subsequent treatment sessions can be in your kitchen, bedroom, living room, backyard, garden, garage, local parks, community trails, pools, and gyms.  We want to work with you in places that are fun, functional and meaningful to you.

Goals We Work Towards

  • Improve bed mobility

  • Learn to walk with or without a walking aid

  • Improve ADLs such as toileting, bathing, eating, dressing

  • Return to hobbies such as cooking, gardening, painting

  • Return to activities - running, hiking, biking, swimming

  • Slow the progression of a disease such as Parkinson’s

  • Reduce pain or spasticity

  • Improve range of motion, strength or balance  

Frequency & Duration

Some people will only see the physiotherapist for a few sessions to have a home exercise program developed.  Some will require weekly one-on-one physiotherapy for a limited time to achieve a certain goal or have a period of intense treatment.  Some may have their program delegated to a kinesiologist who will assist with their exercises assuring proper technique and safe movement. Other more complex clients, may work with the physiotherapist or kinesiologist for a longer period of time as they slowly progress and achieve various goals.
