Physiotherapists study the science of movement and learn how to pinpoint an injury’s root causes. With a patient-centred approach the goal of physiotherapy is to empower, promote independence and improve the quality of life of their clients. Make sure you get physiotherapy from a registered physiotherapist.

Think about getting physiotherapy if you have an injury, or chronic pain that limits or restricts how you move during everyday activities. A doctor may refer you to physiotherapy after surgery such as a hip or knee replacement. Though pain is often the reason people seek physiotherapy, pain is not the only thing a physiotherapist can help with. Physiotherapists can also help prevent injuries, restore lost mobility, and improve proper function.

Physiotherapists focus on both prevention and rehabilitation. Treatment can be for problems caused by injury, disease or disability. Here are some examples: Neck and back pain caused by problems in the muscles Pain in the bones, joints, and ligaments such as arthritis Loss of mobility because of trauma to the brain or spine Fatigue, pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of muscle strength Loss of balance due to trauma to the brain Increased dizziness or loss or balance Sports injuries for weekend warriors or professional athletes
