Momentum Sports & Spine Physiotherapy

  Motor vehicle accidents, even those that seem minor, may lead to physical injuries that affect daily function and comfort. These injuries often involve soft tissue, joints, or the spine and may not present immediate symptoms. MVA Physiotherapy offers a movement-based and supportive approach to help individuals manage discomfort, regain mobility, and return to daily activities following a collision. Common injuries after a vehicle accident may include whiplash, neck or back discomfort, shoulder strain, joint stiffness, and muscle tightness. In some cases, symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or tingling in the limbs may develop hours or days after the event. These issues can impact sleep, concentration, and the ability to carry out basic tasks. MVA Physiotherapy care begins with a full assessment to understand the nature and extent of the injury. A physiotherapist evaluates posture, joint movement, muscle strength, and any areas of discomfort. This assessment forms the basis f...

  Physical therapy is a movement-focused approach that may assist individuals in managing discomfort, restoring mobility, and improving how they perform daily activities. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, navigating long-term physical challenges, or aiming to move with greater ease, physical therapy offers support through guided care and education tailored to everyday needs.

Based on this assessment, a plan is created to address areas of concern and support smoother, more efficient movement in day-to-day routines. Therapy sessions typically include targeted exercises that aim to build strength, improve joint mobility, and reduce muscle tightness. These exercises are selected not just to improve ph...

  A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an assessment process used to understand an individual's ability to perform physical tasks required for work or daily life. It typically includes a series of structured activities designed to measure strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and overall physical function. The purpose is to gather detailed information about what a person may be capable of doing safely and consistently following an illness, injury, or surgery. FCEs are often requested when there is a need to determine readiness to return to work after a physical setback. Employers, insurance providers, or healthcare teams may use the results to help decide on modified duties, the need for accommodations, or long-term planning. The evaluation may also be useful during rehabilitation planning to guide therapy goals and track recovery progress. The assessment is conducted by a physiotherapist or other trained healthcare provider and can vary depending on the individual...
