What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession that focuses on promoting, maintaining, and restoring physical function and mobility in patients. Physiotherapists work with people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and help them overcome physical limitations caused by injury, illness, or disability.

Qualifications and Experience

Our physiotherapists are licensed and registered professionals with extensive training in anatomy, physiology, and human movement. They have earned a degree in physiotherapy from an accredited institution and have undergone additional specialized training in areas such as sports medicine, neurology, orthopedics, and pediatrics. Our team has years of experience working with patients from all walks of life and has a deep understanding of the complexities of human movement and rehabilitation.

These include:

Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and manipulation to improve joint mobility and reduce pain.
Exercise therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
Electrical modalities: The use of electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or laser therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms.

What to Expect During a Physiotherapy Visit

During your initial visit, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your physical condition, medical history, and functional limitations. Based on this assessment, they will develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Your physiotherapy treatment may involve one or more of the techniques and services listed above, and you will receive guidance on how to continue your rehabilitation outside of your physiotherapy sessions.
