Special Interest: Chronic pain management, Pre and Post-surgical physiotherapy, musculoskeletal injuries - Shoulder injuries, neck pain, back pain, hip and knee pain, ankle injuries. Hi, my name is Magesh and I am a Physiotherapist at Physio Care Owen Sound. I have completed ongoing professional education in various manual therapy techniques including the Level 1 and Level 2 courses in Fascial Manipulation (TM) in Canada, which has been an important addition to my clinical expertise. Fascial Manipulation (TM) is a manual therapy method where the foundation is in assessing the body as a whole and not just “where it hurts” or where the problems appear to be. I use a combination of manual therapy techniques, acupuncture/dry needling, specific customized exercises program and education/ergonomic advises to address the pain and dysfunction of various spinal and peripheral disorders to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore individuals back into their functional activities. I identify my interest aligning well with a clinic-based work setting, where I feel that I am able to see my clients getting better and fully integrating back into their work and things that they enjoy. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, and exploring the beautiful outdoors of Owen Sound with my wife. I look forward to meeting and working with people within the scope of physiotherapy to help them realize and achieve their goals.
Your first visit will typically last about one hour. Your physiotherapist will start by taking a thorough history of your injury. Then, your relevant medical history will be reviewed with you, and any test reports (MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, X-rays) that you bring along will be discussed. The physiotherapist will then do a physical assessment of your injury/problem area and discuss the physical findings with you. The discussion will focus on educating you on your problems and the contributing factors and the physiotherapist’s treatment plan to address the relevant concerns. After obtaining the informed consent, your therapist may start your treatment during the initial visit or wait until the follow-up visit depending on the available time.
