Physiotherapy

Physical therapists typically create plans that involve stretching, strength training, exercises and physical manipulation to help people recover. Physiotherapists can teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. PT's examine each individual and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.
Therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques such as joint and soft tissue mobilization or treatments such as ultrasound, taping or electrical stimulation can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce pain. Such therapies can also prevent pain from returning.
