1. What is a Physiotherapy Modality?

A physiotherapy modality refers to a specific treatment method or technique used by physiotherapists to help improve movement or reduce pain. In general, modalities include (circa the 1990s) something like heat or cold therapy, or electrical stimulation.  We often say that a modality is a type of treatment applied to a client. PS we do not offer the more traditional modalities like electrical simulation. 

2. Is a Mobilization or Manipulation Manual Therapy?

Yes, both mobilization and manipulation are considered types of manual therapy. Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques applied by a physiotherapist to improve movement, reduce pain, and restore function. Mobilization involves gentle(r), controlled movements of a joint to improve range of motion and improve pain. Manipulation is a more advanced technique that involves a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore joint function, and relax the muscles in the area. Both techniques are part of manual therapy and are used based on the specific needs and presentation of the client.

3. Do I Have to Have All of These Treatments?

No, you don’t have to have all of these treatments or any. At Embodied Physiotherapy and Pilates, we take a personalized approach to care, tailoring treatments to your specific needs and recovery goals.
