Physiotherapy Services at Cornerstone

At Cornerstone we strive to provide the best Physiotherapy experience anywhere in the world. We continuously seek feedback from patients and physicians to fine tune our service and ensure we are getting the best possible outcomes. Cornerstone Physiotherapists all participate in continuous learning provided by our clinical leadership team and various trusted educators in the field.

What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a profession, not a specific treatment. A great physiotherapist devises a treatment plan that is customized to an individual’s condition, goals and abilities.

All of our Physiotherapists are registered with the College Of Physiotherapists of Ontario. They are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions in their specific area of practice. The most common goals are to eliminate pain, improve function and optimize performance. This is achieved with a treatment plan that addresses the root cause of the condition, and by providing treatment in the form of manual therapy, exercise prescription, physical modalities, lifestyle modification and education. When physiotherapy is done well, it has a very powerful effect on the patient’s condition.

What to Expect From Your Cornerstone Physiotherapy Experience

A Detailed Assessment and an Accurate Diagnosis

At your first visit you will spend an hour with your physiotherapist in a private setting. During this hour you can expect:

• A detailed history of your current problem as well as your overall health.
• A physical examination of the problem area.
• Some physical testing to help determine other factors that are contributing to your problem.
• Measurement of current function and symptoms to enable tracking of progress.
• Consultation on your goals and commitment to the rehab process.
• The development of a focused treatment plan considering all of your needs and abilities.
• A detailed review of what you need to do between appointments to get the best results.
• Audiovisual resources to help guide you through the process.
• To begin in-person treatment on day one.

This is a critical visit.  It is important to note that your condition will be continuously evaluated throughout the rehabilitation process. This ensures you are making the expected progress, and helps us fine tune your treatment plan to get the best results possible.

Each Appointment Moves You Forward

Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes long and are also spent one-on-one with your physiotherapist. The majority of your “hands-on” treatment is provided in follow-up appointments. Our Physiotherapists are trained to constantly evaluate your condition to provide the right treatment at the right time. This ensures each appointment moves you closer to your goals.
