Human movement and its mechanics have inspired many inventions aimed at making life easier for human beings. But paradoxically, these inventions confined him to immobility; they have sometimes turned it into a robot repeating the same gesture hundreds, even thousands of times a day. Stillness is the number one enemy of being, designed to move. Muscle and joint overuse is also a source of tension, pain and stiffness. Physiotherapy aims to return to movement. The tools she uses are simple and effective: massage and passive, active or countered mobilizations.

Physiotherapy is difficult to define. It takes on different meanings in different countries. In France and French speaking European countries, kinesitherapy is closer to physiotherapy, where they use tools and machines as an integral part of the treatment. In Quebec, kinesitherapy is a massage therapy-based technique, in the sense that it is practiced solely with the hands and body of the practitioner. The use of massage and stretchings techniques are an integral part of the treatment.
Physiotherapy is therapy through massage and movement. Swedish massage is the basis of this body approach. Through its effects on the various systems of the human body, massage relaxes or tones muscles and activates circulation, depending on the techniques used.
Well-executed mobilizations are essential tools for the physiotherapist. Life is movement and by the same token, the return to optimal amplitude, contributes to greater satisfaction on the part of the client.
By way of analogy, like a blacksmith who heats a metal part and then bends it, the physiotherapist will warm and soften the skin and muscles. This preparation makes it possible to better move the segments in all permitted directions, without the active participation of the client: this is passive mobilization.
Indications and contraindications
Physiotherapy does not cure. It is a tool allowing the body to find a state favoring its own healing. When a muscle allows ample and painless movement, the whole organism is stimulated in all its functions, whether articular, organic or intellectual, to name a few.
The physiotherapist is interested in chronic ailments of the musculoskeletal system; he does not intervene in any way when he is in the presence of an inflammatory state. Manipulation is not part of the physiotherapist's repertoire, this act being reserved for chiropractors and certain specialists in the medical world.
Physiotherapy therefore differs from other bodily approaches recognized in the medical world by the integration of massage techniques associated with mobilizations.
The contraindications are the same as for other techniques, namely cases of fever, inflammation, etc. For any post-operative appointment, refer to your attending physician so that he or she agrees.
The first session begins with a health questionnaire followed by an assessment of posture and mobility, a palpatory examination, a muscle assessment and certain specific tests. All of this will allow the therapist to intervene safely with his client.
For a specific problem or pain, the therapist will use tests to determine if the case can be treated with physiotherapy or if it should be referred to another health professional. The physiotherapist does not make a diagnosis, he simply ensures that his intervention will be beneficial and safe for his client.
Following the various assessments, the session begins with a massage of the various structures depending on the desired effect. The work can be carried out on the skin, muscles and tendons, as well as on the ligaments in order to help the client regain freedom of movement in the greatest possible range. It would be unthinkable to practice mobilizations without having first performed a preparatory massage.
Passive mobilizations allow the return to free and painless movement. They are relatively easy to apply even if their effectiveness is based on great precision and in-depth knowledge of the human body. If necessary, exercises, that is to say active mobilizations since there is active participation of the client, or thwarted ones, when they are done with weights, will be suggested for preventive purposes and for treatment follow-up. The final objective is always the same: the autonomy of the client.
The frequency of sessions varies. Usually, one consultation per week is enough for 5 or 6 weeks. A noticeable improvement can then be seen. Physiotherapy is extremely effective for all pain caused by muscle tension and joint stiffness due to physical inactivity, mechanical overload or joint degeneration.

In Quebec, kinesitherapy is a massage therapy-based technique, in the sense that it is practiced solely with the hands and body of the practitioner. The use of massage and stretchings techniques are an integral part of the treatment.
Kinesitherapy, involves massage, movement, and mobilization techniques to help relax or tone muscles and improve circulation in the body. The foundation of this therapy is the Swedish massage, which has various effects on different systems of the human body. Mobilizations, which involve moving body segments in permissible directions without the client's active participation, are essential tools for physiotherapists to restore optimal movement and increase client satisfaction. By preparing the skin and muscles through warming and softening, the physiotherapist facilitates movement similar to how a blacksmith heats and bends a piece of metal. This passive mobilization helps improve range of motion and contributes to overall well-being.
Indications and contraindications
Kinesitherapy does not cure. It is a tool allowing the body to find a state that favors its own healing. When a muscle allows full and painless movement, the whole body is stimulated in all its functions, whether articular, organic or intellectual, to name a few.
The kinesitherapist is interested in chronic ailments of the musculoskeletal system; he does not intervene in any way when he is in the presence of an inflammatory state. Manipulation is not part of the kinesitherapist's repertoire, this act being reserved for chiropractors and certain specialists in the medical world.
Kinesitherapy therefore differs from other manual therapies recognized in the medical world by the integration of massage techniques associated with mobilizations.
The contraindications are the same as for other techniques, namely cases of fever, inflammation, etc. For any post-operative appointment, refer to your attending physician so that he or she gives his or her approval.
