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.
