Three core values define Adelaide West Physiotherapy:

1. The highest standards of care

We deliver effective and efficient treatment, using our manual therapy skills to restore proper joint mechanics, and expert exercise prescription to help maintain improvement and to prevent reoccurrence. All our physiotherapists hold the highest academic qualifications available, a level achieved by only a small group of physiotherapists in Canada (www.manipulativetherapy.org).

We are instructors for the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, teaching advanced manual therapy skills to graduated physiotherapists in Ontario; two of our team co-authored an authoritative manual widely used in our profession (www.whitmorephysiotherapy.com).

Our therapists work extensively with elite and recreational athletes, dancers, musicians, actors and business professionals.

2. Client centered care and open communication.

We work with each client to determine their specific treatment goals. We explain the nature of their injuries, the treatment approach, the prognosis and prevention of reoccurrence. Continuous reassessment ensures progress towards those goals and treatment is modified as necessary.

We strive to have our clients feel comfortable in discussing their concerns with us so that their expectations are being met. We communicate with each client's doctor, massage therapist, personal trainer and other health professionals as needed, to ensure that they are receiving the best comprehensive care possible.

3. Professionalism in a relaxed environment.

We feel the environment in which an individual is trying to recover is important. To that end, we operate in a unique clinic space, designed to help our clients to start feeling better as soon as they walk through our front door.
