WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Physiotherapy is a treatment method that focuses on the science of movement which helps people restore, maintain and maximize their physical strength, function and overall wellbeing. It does this by addressing underlying physical issues such as injuries. Encompassing rehabilitation, injury prevention and health promotion, physiotherapy takes on a holistic approach to treatment by looking at your lifestyle and engaging you in your own treatment.
When you first visit a physiotherapist, they will assess you using detailed history-taking along with specific physical tests and measures such as range of motion and flexibility. The physiotherapists will then analyze their assessment findings and use clinical reasoning to establish a diagnosis. Together, you and your physiotherapist will explore your current functional needs and abilities to create a comprehensive treatment plan that is consistent with your goals and general health status. This plan will incorporate approaches and techniques that are supported by the best evidence available.
WHAT DOES PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT INCLUDE?
While massage therapy and chiropractic care are both great ways of improving your overall wellbeing, physiotherapy is a more complete way to improve your health. Physiotherapists work to create a comprehensive plan to get you back on your feet, improve your mobility or relieve your pain. Physiotherapy treatments can include elements of both massage and chiropractic, including:
Personalized exercise programs designed to improve strength, range of motion and function
Joint mobilization and manipulation to reduce pain and stiffness
Hot and cold packs and modalities to relieve pain, reduce swelling and speed up the healing process
Airway clearance procedures to assist people with breathing difficulties
Skin and wound care
Functional activity and tolerance testing and training
Work and occupational re-training
Prescription, fabrication and application of various devices and equipment
Removing barriers and changing your environment
