What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a regulated health care profession focused on assessing, treating, and preventing movement-related problems. A physiotherapist looks at how your body moves, where pain or restriction may be coming from, and what needs to improve so you can function better.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, education, injury prevention strategies, and a customized home program. The goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you understand your body and take an active role in your recovery.
What conditions can physiotherapy help treat?
Physiotherapy may help with a wide range of conditions, including:
Sports and leisure injuries
