Gait Assessment Etobicoke

Etobicoke Gait Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that analyzes how you walk and move to identify movement patterns, detect abnormalities, and optimize your mobility. Gait assessment is a systematic study of your walking pattern that examines the biomechanics of each step, providing valuable insights into your overall musculoskeletal health and function.

Our experienced physiotherapists in Etobicoke use advanced assessment techniques to evaluate your gait cycle, which consists of two main phases: the stance phase (when your foot is in contact with the ground) and the swing phase (when your foot moves through the air). This detailed analysis helps identify compensatory movement patterns that may be causing pain or putting you at risk for injury.

What Conditions does Gait Assessment Treat?

Gait assessment is used to evaluate and treat various conditions including neurological disorders (stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis), musculoskeletal injuries (hip pain, knee problems, ankle instability), sports-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain conditions, balance disorders, and walking difficulties in older adults. It's also beneficial for athletes looking to optimize performance and prevent injuries.

How often should you get Gait Assessment?

Our registered physiotherapists in Etobicoke typically recommend an initial comprehensive gait assessment followed by progress evaluations every 4-6 weeks during treatment. For athletes or individuals with chronic conditions, periodic assessments every 3-6 months help monitor improvements and prevent regression. The frequency depends on your specific condition, treatment goals, and response to therapy.

What is a Gait Assessment Session like?

The assessment typically lasts 45-60 minutes and begins with a thorough health history and discussion of your concerns. You'll be asked to walk at your natural pace while our physiotherapist observes your movement patterns from multiple angles. We may use video analysis to capture detailed footage for slow-motion review, allowing us to identify subtle abnormalities not visible to the naked eye.

During the session, we analyze various parameters including step length, stride width, cadence, foot strike patterns, joint angles, muscle activation timing, and overall body mechanics. Pressure mapping technology may be used to assess foot pressure distribution and weight-bearing patterns.

What Can I Expect in a First Gait Assessment Visit in Etobicoke?

The practitioner will conduct a comprehensive health history, explaining how gait assessment works and what to expect during the evaluation. You should feel comfortable discussing your movement concerns, pain levels, and functional goals with our physiotherapist. We'll examine your footwear for wear patterns, assess your standing posture, and evaluate your balance and coordination.

The assessment includes observing your walking pattern from different angles, analyzing specific movement phases, and identifying any deviations from normal gait mechanics. Based on the findings, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include corrective exercises, manual therapy, orthotics recommendations, or other interventions to improve your walking pattern and overall function.

Our experienced pediatric physiotherapists understand that children are not just small adults - they require specialized knowledge of growth patterns, developmental stages, and conditions unique to childhood. We use play-based therapy techniques to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment where children can achieve their therapeutic goals while having fun.

Sessions may include exercises on therapy balls, climbing activities, balance games, strengthening exercises disguised as play, and movement activities.

We incorporate hydrotherapy (water therapy) when appropriate, as children often find water-based activities enjoyable and therapeutic. The session structure depends on your child's age, attention span, and specific needs, with frequent breaks and varied activities to maintain engagement.

Fascial Stretch Therapy Etobicoke

Etobicoke Fascial Stretch Therapy is a gentle, assisted stretching method targeting the body’s fascial network - the connective tissue surrounding muscles, joints, and organs. Developed to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance athletic performance, Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) uses mindful, rhythmic movements and traction to lengthen and release tension within the fascia.

Our certified therapists at Rapha Rehab in Etobicoke perform FST using specialized tables and ergonomically designed tools. This technique provides safe joint mobilization and traction while promoting fluid circulation, tissue hydration, and optimal neuromuscular function.

What Conditions does Fascial Stretch Therapy Treat?

FST effectively addresses conditions such as chronic low back pain, neck stiffness, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, fibromyalgia, repetitive strain injuries, postural imbalances, limited range of motion, athletic overuse injuries, and general muscular tension. It’s also beneficial for pre- and post-event athletes seeking enhanced performance and faster recovery.

How often should you get Fascial Stretch Therapy?

Our therapists typically recommend an initial series of 6 - 8 sessions scheduled 1 - 2 times per week to achieve lasting fascial release. Maintenance sessions every 4 - 6 weeks help sustain flexibility gains and prevent recurrence of tension. Frequency may be adjusted based on your goals, activity level, and response to treatment.

  • Optimize neuromuscular coordination
  • Improve breathing mechanics and core stability
  • Accelerate rehabilitation after injury or surgery
  • Enhance functional movement patterns
What is a Fascial Stretch Therapy Session like?

An FST session lasts 45-60 minutes and begins with an assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and areas of restriction. You remain fully clothed in comfortable attire while our therapist guides your limbs through precise traction and stretch sequences on a specialized stretch table. Techniques include hip traction, spinal decompression, shoulder traction, and dynamic fascial mobilizations to release adhesions and restore tissue elasticity.

The therapist uses both hands and soft tools to apply gentle traction, oscillations, and fascia-specific stretches. You’ll be encouraged to breathe deeply and relax as tension releases. Sessions combine active participant engagement and passive stretching for maximal fascial lengthening without discomfort.

What Can I Expect in a First Fascial Stretch Therapy Visit in Etobicoke?

During your first visit, the therapist will take a detailed history of your pain, injuries, and activity goals. We’ll explain how FST works and what to expect during the session. A postural and movement screen identifies tight fascial lines and joint restrictions. You’ll then experience introductory traction and stretch techniques focused on your primary areas of concern.

Our therapist provides education on self-stretch strategies and fascial hydration tips to complement in-clinic sessions. You should feel supported and informed throughout your FST journey as we work together to restore your body’s natural flexibility and resilience.

Cupping Therapy Etobicoke

Cupping Therapy Etobicoke is an ancient technique adapted for modern physiotherapy that uses suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin. This method promotes blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and encourages cellular repair by drawing toxins and stagnation to the surface.

Our certified therapists at Rapha Rehab apply silicone or glass cups to targeted areas, leaving circular marks that fade within days. We customize cup placement and suction intensity based on your condition and comfort level, integrating cupping with manual therapy and exercise prescription for optimal results.

What Conditions does Cupping Therapy Treat?

Cupping is effective for relieving chronic muscle pain, myofascial tension, back pain, neck stiffness, fibromyalgia, shoulder pain, migraine headaches, sports injuries, and scar tissue adhesions. It also enhances recovery in athletes and alleviates symptoms of respiratory conditions like bronchitis and asthma.

How often should you get Cupping Therapy?

For acute issues, our therapists recommend 1–2 sessions per week for 3–5 weeks. For chronic or maintenance care, monthly sessions help sustain tissue mobility and pain relief. Treatment frequency is tailored to your response and therapeutic goals.

What are the Potential Benefits of Etobicoke Cupping Therapy?
  • Increase local blood circulation
  • Reduce muscle stiffness and pain
  • Break up scar tissue and adhesions
  • Promote lymphatic drainage and detoxification
  • Enhance tissue repair and healing
  • Alleviate tension headaches and migraines
  • Improve range of motion and flexibility
  • Support recovery from sports injuries
  • Reduce inflammation and swelling
  • Relax the nervous system and reduce stress
  • Complement rehabilitation and manual therapy
What is a Cupping Therapy Session like?

A typical session lasts 30-45 minutes. After a brief assessment, the therapist applies oil or lotion to allow smooth cup movement or sets cups for static suction. You’ll experience a gentle pulling sensation as cups create suction over muscles and trigger points. Cups may be left in place or moved in gliding patterns to “massage” the tissue.

Your therapist monitors suction levels constantly to maintain comfort. After removing the cups, we follow with light massage and a guided stretching routine to maximize mobility gains.

What Can I Expect in a First Cupping Therapy Visit in Etobicoke?

During your initial visit, the therapist reviews your medical history and current concerns, explains how cupping works, and discusses any contraindications. You’ll feel brief suction as cups are applied, followed by relaxation. Post-session, you may see temporary circular marks and feel immediate relief in tension and stiffness. You’ll receive aftercare advice on hydration, gentle stretching, and skin care to support your healing.

Cupping & Dry Needling | Rapharehab

Dry Needling Etobicoke

Dry Needling Etobicoke is a precise technique used by trained physiotherapists to deactivate myofascial trigger points - tight knots in muscle fibers - using sterile, filiform needles. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling targets the muscular system directly, eliciting local twitch responses to release tension and restore normal muscle function.

At Rapha Rehab, our clinicians integrate dry needling with manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and education to provide a comprehensive approach to pain management and functional restoration.

What Conditions does Dry Needling Treat?

Dry needling is indicated for chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain conditions including myofascial pain syndrome, tension-type headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, arthritis-related muscle tension, and sports-related muscle injuries.

How often should you get Dry Needling?

Typically, our physiotherapists recommend 1-2 sessions per week over 4-6 weeks depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Maintenance sessions every 4-8 weeks may be advised for long-term management of chronic pain or athletic performance support.

What are the Potential Benefits of Etobicoke Dry Needling?
  • Inactivate painful trigger points
  • Reduce muscle tension and spasms
  • Decrease pain and improve pain thresholds
  • Enhance muscle activation and coordination
  • Improve joint range of motion
  • Accelerate recovery from muscle injuries
  • Reduce reliance on pain medication
  • Complement other rehabilitation modalities
  • Promote blood flow and tissue healing
  • Restore normal muscle length-tension relationships
What is a Dry Needling Session like?

Sessions last approximately 30-45 minutes. After a thorough assessment, the therapist palpates and identifies trigger points. Using single-use, sterile needles, they insert the needle into the muscle knot, often eliciting a local twitch response - a brief muscle contraction - signalling effective targeting. Needles remain in place for a few seconds to several minutes.

You may feel a dull ache or twitch during the process. After needle removal, gentle stretching and manual therapy are applied to enhance the release effect and restore optimal tissue function.

What Can I Expect in a First Dry Needling Visit in Etobicoke?

Your initial visit includes discussion of your pain history and physical examination to localize trigger points. The therapist explains the dry needling process, expected sensations, and safety protocols. You’ll be positioned comfortably, and the targeted muscles cleaned before needle insertion. Most patients experience immediate relief of tension and pain, followed by mild soreness that typically resolves within 24 - 48 hours. Your therapist will provide post-needling care instructions, including hydration and gentle movement strategies to support recovery.

What is a Shockwave Therapy Session like?

Each session lasts 15–30 minutes. After identifying the target area, your therapist applies a coupling gel and positions the handheld shockwave device to deliver controlled pulses. Patients often describe the sensation as tapping or pulsing, which may feel mildly uncomfortable but is generally well tolerated. The intensity can be adjusted if needed. Any temporary soreness usually resolves within a day or two. For optimal recovery, you may be advised to avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours post-session.
