All treatment at Diane Lee & Associates is prescriptive and follows a detailed assessment which on occasion requires more than the first visit. Treatment will only begin once a thorough understanding of your impairments and your goals are understood. Every individual has a unique clinical presentation and no two treatment programs are the same. Ultimately, our goal is to empower you to live a healthier way in your bodies and to be able to move such that sustained forces on any one structure are avoided. In this way, your pain will resolve and you will avoid any further damage to your body.

Your physiotherapist will use manual skills (massage, stretching, mobilization and manipulation), rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (for assessment and biofeedback training) and exercises (possibly different from those you've encountered before) to help you recover. In addition, you may be asked to become aware of certain movement and postural behaviours such as sitting and lifting and to be open to changing the strategies you use for these tasks. Some of our therapists are certified in dry needling or Intramuscular Stimulation and may use these techniques in one or more of your treatment sessions. In addition, you may be scheduled for a 'breathing assessment' using capnography or referred for consideration for orthotics and/or bracing

You will be treated with a whole body functional approach which integrates many different types of therapy and services. Some of these are described in further detail in this section of the website.
