PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is a primary care health profession that emphasizes improving your quality of life. It is centered around movement sciences and seeks to enhance or restore function of multiple body systems. Our physiotherapists are committed to health, lifestyle and quality of life and provide a holistic approach.
A physiotherapist will take a detailed history and complete special tests and measures, such as range of motion and strength, to analyze the findings and establish a diagnosis. By using clinical reasoning, the physiotherapist will create a treatment program based on your health status and the findings of the assessment. We treat recent and long standing injuries in children to older adults.
