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.

No! Mostly, therapists get recognized by the government and other facilities as primary healthcare workers. Therefore, you do not need a referral to seek physical therapy services. However, you may need a doctor’s referral if you would like to benefit from some medical plans.
To ensure optimal results after an IMS treatment, it’s important to take care of your body and follow any instructions provided by your healthcare practitioner. This may include resting and avoiding strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after the session, as well as applying heat or ice to the treatment area and staying hydrated. Your practitioner may also provide specific exercises or instructions to follow after the session to promote healing and ensure the best possible outcome.
There are many possible causes of a weak pelvic floor, including pregnancy and childbirth, obesity, age, and chronic pelvic pain. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to consult a pelvic floor physiotherapist for help. They can assess your situation and recommend the best exercises for you to improve your pelvic floor health.
How long does a pelvic session last? Assessment is 60 min and treatment is 30 mins
There are two main types of pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions, the initial assessment, and the treatment sessions. The initial assessment is typically one hour, while the treatment sessions are 30 minutes. The number of pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions you will need depends on the severity of your condition. Your pelvic floor physiotherapist will work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
Identifying a weak pelvic floor in men involves recognizing specific symptoms and changes in bodily functions. Here are some common signs that may indicate a weak pelvic floor:
1. Urinary Incontinence:
- Leakage During Activities: Experiencing urine leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising.
- Frequent Urination: Having an urgent need to urinate more frequently than usual.
- Incomplete Emptying: Feeling like you cannot completely empty your bladder.
2. Bowel Issues:
- Fecal Incontinence: Unintended leakage of stool or difficulty controlling bowel movements.
- Straining: Struggling or straining to pass stools.
3. Sexual Dysfunction:
- Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
- Reduced Sensation: Decreased sensation during sexual activity.
- Premature Ejaculation: Experiencing premature ejaculation.
4. Pelvic Pain or Discomfort:
- Pain or Heaviness: Feeling of heaviness, discomfort, or pain in the pelvic area, lower back, or genitals.
- Muscle Spasms: Experiencing muscle spasms or contractions in the pelvic area.
5. Prostate Issues:
- Post-Prostate Surgery: Weak pelvic floor muscles can be a common issue after prostate surgery, leading to incontinence and other related symptoms.
Self-Assessment Tests:
Stopping Urine Flow:
- Test: Try to stop the flow of urine mid-stream while urinating.
- Result: If you find it difficult or cannot stop the flow, this may indicate weak pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Contractions:
- Test: Sit or lie down comfortably and attempt to tighten the muscles you would use to stop urinating or passing gas.
- Result: If you cannot hold the contraction for a few seconds or if the contraction feels weak, this may indicate a weakened pelvic floor.
Seeking Professional Help:
If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect that your pelvic floor muscles may be weak, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. Here are some steps to take:
- Visit a General Practitioner: They can provide an initial assessment and refer you to a specialist if needed.
- See a Urologist: A urologist specializes in urinary and male reproductive health and can offer more targeted advice and treatments.
- Consult a Physiotherapist: A physiotherapist who specializes in pelvic floor rehabilitation can provide exercises and techniques to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
Treatment and Management:
- Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels): Performing regular Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
- Biofeedback: This technique uses sensors and visual feedback to help you learn how to effectively contract and relax your pelvic floor muscles.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing constipation can help reduce strain on the pelvic floor.
- Medical Treatments: In some cases, medications or surgical interventions may be necessary, particularly if the weakness is due to an underlying condition such as prostate surgery complications.
The healing time for a sprain varies significantly, primarily depending on the severity of the injury. Generally, the healing period for most sprains spans from two to six weeks. During this recovery phase, the primary goals include several key steps aimed at ensuring a safe and effective return to normal activities or sports. Initially, managing inflammation is crucial; this involves reducing swelling and minimizing pain around the affected area, which is essential for kick-starting the healing process.
Subsequently, the focus shifts towards regaining strength in the injured limb. This step is fundamental because strength is a cornerstone for both stability and function. Alongside strength, restoring the range of motion is another vital goal. This ensures that the joint or muscle affected by the sprain can move freely and without discomfort, which is crucial for performing everyday tasks and sports-related activities.
Finally, the restoration of muscle control and endurance rounds off the recovery objectives. Muscle control is about retraining the body to move in a controlled and efficient manner, which helps prevent re-injury. Endurance, on the other hand, relates to the muscle’s ability to perform activities over time without succumbing to fatigue. Achieving these goals not only marks the completion of the healing process but also signifies that the individual is ready to resume their sports activities or day-to-day life without the risk of re-injury.

Some examples of pelvic floor exercises are the pelvic tilt, pelvic clock, pelvic bridges, and Kegels. Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support your bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. This “hammock” of muscle stretches from your pubic bone to your tailbone and forms the floor of your pelvic cavity. A strong pelvic floor can help you control your bowel and bladder, and may improve sexual function.
