Sports Injury

• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Tearing of muscle fibers or the muscle-tendon unit due to overstretching, sudden forceful contraction, or eccentric loading during athletic activity or exertion, commonly known as a 'pulled muscle'.

• The path to recovery from trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip and achieving feeling equipped with effective self-management strategies and exercises for working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain often starts with expert guidance. Emily Jeong, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• The journey to feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement when faced with persistent wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night is made smoother and more effective with Emily Jeong's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up.
• For those whose my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly) has made carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably seem like a distant memory, Emily Jeong's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.
