Physiotherapists are registered healthcare professionals that specialize in how the body moves. Physiotherapy takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle. They specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to muscle, ligaments, tendons, bones, joints, and nerves. Physiotherapists help you restore physical function following an injury and also help to prevent future ones through a wide range of treatment techniques.
Physiotherapists can treat almost any type of body injury including but not limited to injury to the neck, back, arms, legs. They can treat acute and chronic injuries that are related to sport injuries, car accidents or pains that arise from unknown causes. Physiotherapists can help with injuries related to muscle (soft tissue), ligaments, bones, joints and nerves!
I came in with lower back pain and leg muscle weakness after an injury. Jamie was extremely helpful - having treated my muscle injuries and significantly assisted with exercises that relieved my pain. I am doing much better and continually receive support from Jamie. This has definitely improved my quality of life! -- N.S.
