Physiotherapy

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a scientific health care profession involved in the rehabilitation process after pain, injury, dysfunction or disease. They work with and balance multiple body systems.  Orthopedic clinical Physiotherapists help people reduce pain and return to normal movement mechanics after any disruptions.  They focus on mobility and strength while reducing pain to return to normal levels of function in life.

Physiotherapists are strong in human anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Orthopedic clinical Physiotherapists specialize in assessing and treating symptoms of pain, injury, disability, illness and movement dysfunction.

Physiotherapists work in both the rehabilitation and prevention of injury. They promote overall health, well being and fitness including strength, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility/mobility.  They help minimize and eliminate pain while allowing you to stay active.  They are an integral part of the health care team.
