HOW CAN WE HELP?
Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury, disease and disorders through physical methods — such as exercise, massage, manipulation and other treatments — over medication and surgery.​ Treatments are used to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient's mobility, function, and well-being. Physiotherapy helps through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness. Physiotherapists get you involved in your own recovery.
​
Physiotherapists focus on both prevention and rehabilitation. Treatments for problems caused by injury, disease or disability such as:
-
Neck and back pain caused by problems in the muscles and skeleton
-
Problems in the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments, such as arthritis and the after-effects of amputation
-
Lung problems such as asthma
-
Disability as a result of heart problems
-
Pelvic issues, such as bladder and bowel problems related to childbirth
-
Loss of mobility because of trauma to the brain or spine, or due to diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
-
Fatigue, pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of muscle strength, for example during cancer treatment, or palliative care
​
Your session with us will be unique, because it is all about you and your particular needs. In general, here’s what happens:
-
The physiotherapist learns about your medical history
-
The physiotherapist assesses and diagnoses your condition
-
You receive a treatment plan that sets goals for you
-
You are prescribed a course of exercises and any assistive devices needed
