What is Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists are registered healthcare professionals that specialize in how the body moves. Physiotherapy takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle. They specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to muscle, ligaments, tendons, bones, joints, and nerves. Physiotherapists help you restore physical function following an injury and also help to prevent future ones through a wide range of treatment techniques.

A physiotherapy treatment can include the following:
● Education about your diagnosis and a plan for your recovery
● Soft Tissue Work
● Joint mobilizations and/or manipulations to reduce pain and stiffness
● Acupuncture
● IMS (intramuscular stimulation)/dry needling
● Therapeutic modalities to relieve pain, reduce swelling, speed up the healing process, and improve movement and function
● Individualized exercise prescription to improve your strength, balance, and function
