JKATZ PHYSIO services

JKatz Physio offers you dedicated patient-care focusing on your needs in making YOU better. Our customized treatment program is designed to help reduce your specific dysfunction or impairment as well as empower you to help yourself.

We start with a detailed consultation where we will learn about you and your condition/injury, followed with a comprehensive physical assessment. I will then share with you some important information specific to your injury/condition and the steps we will take together in making YOU better.

My goal is to find the root cause of your symptoms and treat them accordingly; to deal with the source of the problems, not just the symptoms so that you will experience long-term well-being rather than temporary relief.

Individualized, one-on-one treatment may consist of any of or a combination of the following:

Supervised exercise prescription

The core of physiotherapy treatment is exercise prescription. Proper exercises preformed properly will allow you to help yourself and treat the root causes of your ailments and not just the symptoms.

Hands-on manual therapy

Physiotherapy improves and maintains functional independence and physical performance by rehabilitating injury and effects of disease or disability through therapeutic exercise, education, planning and various other interventions.

Acupuncture

It is believed that acupuncture needles help release opioids which then decrease pain and disrupt the integrity of the dysfunctional end plates to promote healing. Acupuncture is very safe when done by trained practitioners.

Custom bracing

Custom bracing is used for pre and post injury as well as unloading joints due to injury or arthritis. Custom measured and created braces have been shown to reduce forces on the joints as well as ligaments thus improving quality of life, decreasing dysfunction and returning to regular activity in less time with less pain.

Other techniques and treatment

Therapeutic and electro-therapeutic devices such as ultrasound, IFC, heat, TENS, taping and electro-acupuncture have been shown to help reduce pain and allow for greater function.

Education

You educating us helps us accurately assess you and therefore we can prescribe the most effective treatment plan for you. Educating you helps you understand your condition/injury more thoroughly, so you can make informed decisions on how we can work together in making YOU better.
