What can our Physiotherapists help with?
There are several different areas that our physiotherapists can help with. We have already highlighted a few of them, but here is a detailed view of the kinds of treatments our physiotherapy team offers:
If you or a loved one has experienced a concussion or head injury, seeking prompt care is crucial. At Human Integrated Performance, our physiotherapists address the physical aftermath, while our psychologists focus on the cognitive and emotional aspects of recovery. Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to concussion management, ensuring you receive tailored, holistic care to navigate the challenges of brain trauma.
Strong pelvic floor muscles are important for recovery after pregnancy. They provide stability, support, and strength to the uterus after birth, which reduces prolapse or hernias that may occur during pregnancy. A physiotherapist can teach you the best techniques for building up these muscles.
Overactive bladder is an issue where the bladder muscle contracts uncontrollably which results in urgency and frequency of urination.
Urinary incontinence is the inability to hold urine in, which often leads to the involuntary loss of small amounts of urine. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with urinary incontinence by strengthening muscles that help you control urination and bowel movements.
Prolapse is the descent of a pelvic organ below its normal position in relation to the other pelvic organs. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with a prolapse by decreasing pressure on the pelvic organs, improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
Sexual dysfunction refers to a range of disorders that may affect your ability to enjoy sexual activity. Acupuncture and pelvic floor physiotherapy can help. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be used to increase blood flow in the genital area by doing exercises specifically targeted at this region, which is necessary for normal sexual function. Acupuncture can also help improve blood circulation to your reproductive organs.
Pelvic pain in men and women is when the pelvis becomes painful to touch or movement brings on pain. Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps reduce this pain by correcting muscular imbalances and mobilising the pelvic joints, allowing you to use your body more efficiently which reduces mis-loading of joints over time.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure in the wrist and median nerve, which causes pain, tingling, numbing and stiffness in the hand, wrist, and arm.
A vestibular condition is when something’s not right with your inner ear or the part of your brain that controls balance. This can make you feel dizzy, give you spinning sensations, or make it hard to stay steady. These issues can make everyday things, like walking or turning your head quickly, a real challenge. At Human Integrated Performance in Edmonton, we have trained physiotherapists and chiropractors who can help. They use special exercises and treatments to help get your balance back on track and reduce those dizzy feelings.
Orthopaedic Physical Therapy utilises the basic sciences of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics as background theory in the assessment and management of patients. This involves not only ‘manipulation’, but also manual assessment and treatment techniques, specific therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy, and advice on posture and movement disorders. Orthopaedic Physical Therapy is used to treat musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and injuries, including arthritis, tendonitis, sprains, and more.
Neck pain can be caused by multiple factors, such as poor posture, over-strenuous movement, injury, worn joints, or even disease. We have several treatment options that can help you recover, by reducing stiffness and strengthening the neck muscles.
Complaints involving hands and wrists are common in our clinic, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We help you design a program that will help you improve your mobility and strength in the wrist, hand, and forearm.
Shin splints are a common injury associated with running or other impact activities. The pain is typically along the inside of the shin or tibia which is amplified with impact. Several different factors can cause shin splints such as improper warm-up or cool down, poor footwear, repetitive stress, flat feet, or even a change in your workouts. There are many ways that shin splints can be successfully treated, including Shockwave, Graston, or Active Release. Restricting impact, stretching, foam rolling, proper footwear, and ice are important during treatment to get you back to your activities as soon as possible.
Including plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and Morton’s Neuroma. Recovering from such injuries requires therapeutic exercising. We have a friendly team that helps patients with these exercises and makes it easy to get back to fitness.
Sciatica is a nerve pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Patients often report pain in the lower back and down the back of their leg. Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness can also occur. Sciatica can be caused by a herniated disc, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis; a narrowing of the spine that can lead to compression of the nerve. Sciatica typically will affect one side of the body. Sneezing, coughing, and straining are often extremely painful with sciatica. Our chiropractors are fully equipped to assess and address irritations of the sciatica nerve.
Patients often report pain or weakness on either the inside or outside of the elbow which is worsened with computer work, lifting or gripping and repetitive activities. There are many ways that tennis and golfer’s elbow can be successfully treated, including Shockwave, Graston, or Active Release. It is important to ice the elbow to help reduce inflammation during the healing process.
Golfer’s Elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is caused by repetitive stress and or weakness of the muscles which flex your wrist and fingers. Pain or tenderness is local to the inside of the elbow, and can also move down the forearm and into the hand.
Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is most commonly caused by repetitive stress and or weakness of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. Pain or tenderness is local to the outside of the elbow but can move down the forearm and into the hand.

Physiotherapy FAQ
In Alberta, coverage for physiotherapy varies. Generally, Alberta Healthcare does not cover physiotherapy. However, there are specific situations where Alberta Health Services (AHS) may approve physiotherapy sessions, such as following surgery or severe injury.
In most cases, individuals are responsible for paying out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services. To alleviate this, many employers offer extended health benefits, including physiotherapy coverage. At Human Integrated Performance, we recognize that the cost of physiotherapy can be a concern. Therefore, we offer direct billing options with most insurance providers. This allows you to receive the physiotherapy treatment you need without upfront payments, as we will bill your insurance provider directly.
To ensure you are adequately covered, you must check with your employer or insurance provider regarding the specifics of your physiotherapy coverage. This can help you understand the extent of your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs you might incur.
Our team at Human Integrated Performance is here to assist you in navigating your coverage and billing options. We are committed to making the process seamless so you can focus on your recovery. If you have any questions or need further information about physiotherapy coverage and billing in Alberta, please don’t hesitate to contact our front desk.
We aim to provide comprehensive and affordable physiotherapy services to all our clients. By offering direct billing and working with various insurance providers, we strive to make physiotherapy accessible to everyone.
These therapies are correct for people that experience different kinds of pain. Also, it is suitable for people trying to recover from an injury or illness that affects their mobility. Also, any patient can seek examination and treatment, whether they are old or young. Also, it is suitable for non-patients that want to prevent diseases.
With consent, the best way to check the pelvic floor is through an internal examination. There are some situations where we can’t do an internal exam, for example, new mothers 6 weeks postpartum or post-op recovery.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a type of therapy that helps to strengthen and improve the function of the pelvic floor muscles. This can help to improve bladder and bowel control, as well as sexual function. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can benefit both men and women, as the pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs and help to keep them in place.
In Alberta, physiotherapists are considered primary care providers, so you can see a private one without requiring your doctor’s referral.
However, your physician will likely refer you to a physiotherapist for post-surgery recovery or an extended medical issue needing specialized attention. It is common for physiotherapists to collaborate with other healthcare professionals such as a doctor, occupational therapists and massage therapists to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.
In addition, if your private health insurance covers physiotherapy, you may need to provide a doctor’s referral for the insurer to cover the cost of your treatment.
A ligament is a band of tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones or to cartilage. Ligaments attach at one end to a bone and at the other end to another structure, such as a tendon or joint capsule. Ligaments prevent excessive movement and help stabilize joints.
Physiotherapy plays a significant role in protecting and repairing ligaments by:
- Strengthening Surrounding Muscles: Through targeted exercises, physiotherapy strengthens muscles around the affected ligament, providing better support and stability to the joint.
- Improving Flexibility and Range of Motion: Physiotherapy involves stretching and mobility exercises that help maintain and improve the range of motion, reducing the strain on ligaments.
- Reducing Swelling and Inflammation: Techniques like ice therapy, compression, and elevation are used to manage swelling and inflammation, which aids in ligament healing.
- Guiding Gradual Load Increase: Physiotherapists guide patients in gradually increasing the load and stress on the healing ligament, which encourages strengthening without risking re-injury.
- Providing Education and Prevention Strategies: Physiotherapists educate patients on proper techniques and body mechanics to prevent future ligament injuries.
By following these approaches, physiotherapy not only assists in the recovery of damaged ligaments but also helps in preventing future injuries.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing pelvic pain. Physiotherapists can help manage pain through techniques such as manual therapy, exercise, and electrical stimulation. They can also improve strength, flexibility, and stability in the pelvic region and manage pelvic floor muscle dysfunction that may contribute to pain. A physiotherapist can educate patients on proper posture, body mechanics, and activities to avoid, as well as ways to manage pain during daily activities, to improve their physical function and quality of life.
