What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a treatment that helps you improve how your body performs physical movements. It can be part of a generalized pain management plan or a specific treatment for an injury or health condition. It’s common to need physiotherapy after many types of surgery, too. You might also need physiotherapy to help prevent injuries before they happen.
How long you’ll need physiotherapy depends on which injuries or health conditions you have and which area of your body needs help moving better. Some people only need a few weeks of physiotherapy to help with a short-term issue. Others need it for months or years to manage symptoms of a chronic (long-term) condition.

What does Physiotherapy treat?

Most people start physiotherapy after a healthcare provider diagnoses an injury or condition. Examples include:

Respiratory conditions.
Pre and post operative.
Sports injuries.
Neck pain.
Back pain.
Knee pain.
Hip pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Tendinopathy (including tendinitis).
Rotator cuff tears.
Knee ligament injuries (like ACL tears).
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Concussions.
Strokes.
Spinal cord injuries.

Is Physiotherapy worth it?

It might not be easy (especially at first), but physiotherapy is definitely worth it. You might feel stressed, tired or exhausted after a physiotherapy session. These feelings are valid and normal. Your physiotherapist will help you set realistic goals and expectations.
Your strength, flexibility and mobility will improve over time. You might feel like physiotherapy isn’t working right away. But persevere, it is absolutely worth the time and effort!
