Hammonds Plains Physiotherapy is owned by Physiotherapist Becky Purdy and her husband/business partner. All Physiotherapy services are provided by Becky who is registered and licensed with the Nova Scotia College of Physiotherapists and is a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. She graduated from an accredited University Physiotherapy Program at the Dalhousie School of Physiotherapy.
Becky continues to improve her skills and knowledge by taking continuing education courses. She has taken many post-graduate courses in manual therapy, acupuncture, kinesiotaping, and exercise prescription. Continuing education is essential to the clinic to ensure that we are providing the best treatment possible for you.
The goal of Hammonds Plains Physiotherapy is to create an environment that is professional, yet relaxed in nature and to provide the best quality of care to Hammonds Plains and surrounding communities. We are dedicated to providing a proactive approach to health and recovery and we believe that client education plays a very important role. Therefore, we provide education to ensure that you understand the injury/condition, the treatment required and the necessary exercise program to prevent further injury.
Physiotherapists are primary care professionals, which means that you can go directly to a Physiotherapist without a Physician's referral. Most extended health care plans cover some or all Physiotherapy services. It is best to check with your insurance provider to determine if a Physician's referral is required to claim reimbursement. Early access to Physiotherapy is crucial in the prevention of chronic diseases and injuries. Hammonds Plains Physiotherapy believes that it is important to keep you active and independent doing the things you love to do.
The initial assessment consists of a subjective and objective assessment. The subjective assessment consists of an extensive health history and the objective assessment is the hands-on assessment and observation evaluation that will assess your level of mobility, strength, range of motion, balance, sensation and overall physical function. Based on the assessment findings, we will educate you on a diagnosis of your condition/injury and together we will develop an individualized active treatment plan. The Physiotherapist will measure your progress regularly and adjust your treatments according to your needs.
