Physiotherapy is a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. The goal of physiotherapy is to ascertain and treat issues in the body which interfere with one’s ability to move about, function, and enjoy life. It begins with a thorough medical examination leading to a diagnosis, which serves as the root of a specialized treatment plan. Multiple sessions will ensue in order to treat the issue. Imaging studies may be used alongside guided exercises, the use of mechanical devices, education, home-exercise prescriptions, and bodily manipulations. Importantly, physiotherapy also involves developing fitness and health plans, so one can grow through life with the strongest, most flexible body possible. The goal of physiotherapy is to strengthen one’s body and move one through physical challenges in a positive manner.

Physiotherapy is able to treat a wide range of ailments including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, patella-femoral syndrome, and ligament/muscle issues. It can also help with arthritis, fatigue, stiffness, mobility issues, obesity, and a whole host of other problems.
