What is a Physiotherapy Program?

Physiotherapy helps to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient’s mobility, function, and well-being. It involves assessment of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal and cardio respiratory systems, the diagnosis of diseases or disorders associated with physical dysfunction, injury or pain and the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention or relief of physical dysfunction, injury or pain to make your body functional and mobile again. Our physiotherapy program is also designed to educate you about your current condition and help to manage it in your daily activities.

For best results, physiotherapists get you involved in your own recovery.
