What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy or “physical therapy” is a regulated healthcare profession and the terms physiotherapist and “physical therapist” are interchangeable. Our team of physiotherapists is highly trained at assessing medical history and creating individualized treatment plans specific for each patient be it of the nerves, bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons and the injuries, diseases, or disabilities associated with these anatomical structures. Our friendly staff can also provide excellent advice on pain management and even recommend specific forms of therapy. In a nutshell, experienced physiotherapists can get you moving. We are trained to help people in a one-on-one approach to health and treatment to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, movement and function. Our healthcare professionals also take an integrated team approach and are specialized in hands-on treatment to help alleviate pain and restore movement.

How Can Physiotherapy Help Me?

Physiotherapy can help you improve mobility, strength, and breathing, as well as reduce chronic pain and restore normal mobility in orthopedic conditions, neurological conditions, and migraine headaches. It can also prevent and manage injuries (e.g. sports injuries, shoulder joint pain, occupational injuries, neck injuries, muscle injuries, motor vehicle accident injuries), increase activity level, and help with long-term disability conditions. The end goal of all of the above is pain relief, injury prevention, and helping you get back to your daily activities while improving your quality of life!
