What to Look for When Choosing a Physiotherapist
Now that you’ve decided that you want to try physiotherapy, the next step is finding the right physiotherapist. When it comes to evaluating your physiotherapist, be sure to look for the following:
- Location – Where your physiotherapist’s office is located can make a big difference during your treatment. Is the office on your way to work? Found near your home? If you need more than one or two sessions a week with your physiotherapist, finding an office near you is ideal as it encourages you to attend all your sessions as well as saves on gas and travel time.
- Relationship – Each physiotherapist is unique and whether or not you like them can affect the way you handle your physiotherapy sessions. Feeling comfortable is important. All physiotherapists are quite knowledgeable about the many health conditions that are treated with physiotherapy, although some may have more expertise in certain areas like sports medicine or kinesiology. Be sure to find someone who is focused on the area you need while providing a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere you can work in.
- Session Length – A good physiotherapist will be able to educate you on the length of your sessions and how many you will need after your initial evaluation. This will allow you to plan your travel and personal schedule accordingly. On average, a physiotherapy session can last between 30 to 60 minutes depending upon your condition.

Electrotherapy and Other Modalities
At White Rock Orthopaedic & Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, our phisiotherapists specialize in electrotherapy and other modalities, which are used to help patients dealing with pain, swelling, or inflammation. These therapies can be applied in various ways, including breaking down scar tissue and adhesions. The widely known ultrasound process is also a type of electrotherapy modality that comes under the long list of physiotherapy services we provide in Surrey.
Electrotherapy is known to improve the strength of healing ligaments and tendons, which is why more and more athletes seek physiotherapists' assistance. Electrotherapy modalities are effective in eliminating the muscle spasm pain cycle, and it also helps in reducing neurological inhibition, while at the same time encouraging muscle development. Ultrasound, laser therapy, interferential current therapy (IFC), neuromuscular stimulation (EMS), and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are the types of electrotherapy modalities available at our clinic.
