Physiotherapy Experts
Physiotherapy Experts are hands-on healthcare professionals that evaluate and treat movement dysfunction. They use manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education and self-management strategies to promote health and wellbeing. They maintain health for people of all ages, including those living with chronic health conditions. Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of practice settings including hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and community health centres.
You may be referred to a physical therapist by your doctor or you can seek them out on your own. Many people visit them after experiencing a major health event like a heart attack or stroke or during the course of managing an illness that impacts mobility, balance and motor function. Physiotherapists also help individuals who are experiencing the challenges of daily life with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes.

They will then develop a care plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
