Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation profession that focuses on maximizing function and restoring your full physical abilities, especially after injuries and surgery. Because physiotherapists are educated in anatomy, natural pain management, the nervous system, the lungs and cardiovascular system, they bring a well rounded perspective to getting you back to functioning and moving your best.

Physiotherapists use their knowledge and their hands to help get your body moving through stretches, strengthening, joint mobilization, massage, and electrical therapy for managing pain, injury recovery and inflammation. They will educate you on lifestyle changes like how to improve posture, how you perform certain activities or sports to minimize strain on the body, and how to get more comfortable for a better sleep. They understand how one area can affect other areas, and how compensations for injuries can delay recovery. In fact, compensation for old injuries that did not heal well, is one of the number one reasons people hurt themselves.

Many seniors seek care from physiotherapists to help prevent slips and falls and to age with as much independence as possible.
