PHYSIOTHERAPY
​
In Alberta, physiotherapy is a regulated health-care profession. This means only qualified professionals can become registered physiotherapists and use the titles physiotherapist, physical therapist or PT.
​
WHO
Physiotherapists are experts on how your body moves and what stops it from moving. Our Physiotherapists perform a comprehensive orthopaedic assessment to determine not only where the dysfunction is, but ​why​ it is there.
WHAT
They treat all areas of the body including: the spine, head and neck, and extremities. They will assess, diagnose and treat physical symptoms and limited movement caused by
-
injury
-
aging
-
disability
-
or a health condition.
HOW
A Physiotherapist utilizes hands-on techniques to restore mobility - working on both joints as well as soft tissues such as
-
muscles
-
ligaments
-
tendons
-
or fascia.
Those hands-on techniques are then complimented with exercises to maintain that new mobility and correct the issues that lead to the deficit in the first place.
