Physiotherapy Services
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is the health care profession committed to improving and restoring movement. Physiotherapists are health care professionals that have a highly developed understanding of how the body works, what keeps it moving well and how to restore lost mobility.
Physiotherapists can help get you moving after surgery, treat neck, back, shoulder and other joint injuries, treat sport injuries and give advice on prevention. They can maximize mobility in neurological disorders, help to manage respiratory and cardiac conditions, work related injuries, care for physical challenges associated with arthritis and repetitive strain.
