What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a regulated health care profession that focuses on physical health. Physiotherapists assess, diagnose and treat individuals to restore function after an injury. An example of this would be increasing the range of motion in your knee and strengthening your knee so that you can climb stairs without pain. Physiotherapists can also work to prevent you from becoming injured, by evaluating how you move and strengthening different muscles to fix muscle imbalances.
Physiotherapists are trained to rehabilitate many different kinds of injuries such as:
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Low back pain
- Disc herniations
- Sciatica
- Neck pain
- Knee pain
- Post surgical rehabilitation
- Tennis elbow/golfers elbow
- Carpal tunnel
- Arthritis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder pain including rotator cuff tears
