Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of muscle, joint, tissue, or nerves through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and fitness promotion. People who are qualified to perform this type of rehabilitation are called physiotherapists.

Physiotherapists work independently or in collaboration with doctors to assess, treat and manage pain. Our registered physiotherapists start by evaluating the root cause of your problem and then create a personalized treatment plan for you. They specialize in treating and rehabilitating injuries and mobility problems. Physiotherapists work by putting their patients through rehabilitation and pain management programs to restore whole-body functionality and eliminate pain.

In certain situations, as part of the treatment plan, physiotherapy may be recommended in combination with massage therapy (also known as manual therapy) to speed up the healing process.

Besides rehabilitation, physiotherapists in Kitchener Waterloo also provide health education to prevent injuries in healthy people or relapse in recovering patients. They also work with people with disabilities to promote independence and improve their quality of life.

Sports, work, or play. Injuries can happen any where to anyone. In fact, millions of people in Canada and worldwide suffer from bodily pains in their muscles, nerves, joints, and tissue. If you are part of this statistic or have old injuries that keep flaring up, it may be time to see a physiotherapist. Pain in any part of the body prevents you from enjoying life as you should. Therefore, knowing how to deal with it is essential to improve your quality of life.

Physiotherapy is an effective evidence-based approach to treating and managing chronic pain, injury prevention, and disability management. Physiotherapy treatment can reduce the need for surgery; physiotherapists are commonly involved with post-surgery patients but they can also help prevent the need for surgery in the first place if you start working with a physiotherapist soon after an injury.
