Apti Journal
Rehabilitation, performance and pain management — explained by the physiotherapists who treat it every day.
Written by the clinical team
No listicles, no miracle stretches. Just the explanations we give patients in the clinic, written down.
Every article here is written by the clinical team at Apti and reviewed by Ravi Raghuvanshi, a registered physiotherapist in Ontario with a master’s in sports physiotherapy. We write about the questions that come up most often in the treatment room — how long an ACL really takes, why low back pain keeps returning, what a musculoskeletal screening actually measures, and what to do about a neck that aches every afternoon at a desk.
None of it replaces an assessment. Injuries that look identical on paper frequently have very different drivers, and the only way to know which one is yours is to be examined. What these pieces will do is tell you what good care looks like, so you can judge whether you are receiving it — from us or from anyone else.
