Frequently Asked Questions

Are braces and splints permanent solutions?

No. Bracing and splinting are typically used temporarily to support healing or stability while rehabilitation progresses.

Do you provide custom orthotics?

At this time, KinCoast Physiotherapy focuses on custom bracing and splinting rather than foot orthotics.

Can I stay active while using a brace or splint?

In many cases, yes. Your physiotherapist will guide appropriate activity levels based on your condition.

Will a brace weaken my muscles?

When used appropriately and combined with exercise, bracing does not weaken muscles. Rehabilitation remains an important part of care.

Do I need a referral for bracing or splinting services?

No referral is required. A physiotherapy assessment is used to determine suitability.

Are yoga and Pilates therapy services safe if I have an injury?

Yes. These services are adapted to accommodate injuries and physical limitations. Your physiotherapist will guide appropriate participation.

Do I need previous yoga or Pilates experience?

No. Sessions are suitable for beginners and are modified to match your experience and comfort level.

Do I need physiotherapy before surgery?

Not always, but pre-surgical rehab can improve strength and movement, which may support smoother recovery after surgery.

Are these classes the same as fitness classes?

No. Yoga and Pilates therapy services are guided by rehabilitation principles and focus on movement quality rather than intensity.

When can I start physiotherapy after surgery?

Timing depends on the type of surgery and your surgeon’s recommendations. Your physiotherapist will guide appropriate start times.
