Physiotherapy

What is physiotherapy, and how can it help me?

Physiotherapists are regulated healthcare professionals dedicated towards helping people restore mobility and move better by treating underlying causes. This can include muscles and joints disorders, scar formations, low endurance/fitness, muscle weakness or decreased balance/coordination.
