Physiotherapy is a branch of science that works on reducing pain and improving or maintaining mobility, flexibility, strength and physical function by the means of using manual therapy, exercise programs and physical modalities. Rehabilitation is the means of regaining function after an accident, trauma, surgery, illness or hospitalization.
A Physiotherapist performs a detailed assessment in the first visit and based on the findings prepares a treatment plan and establishes goals. The subsequent visits consist of a customized treatment plan to achieve optimal results. The physiotherapist maintains a patient-centered approach and focuses on the underlying root cause of the problem.
Physiotherapist programs to improve overall muscle strength, coordination, balance, cardiovascular function and maintain bone and muscle strength in areas more vulnerable to tears, sprains and fractures. Physiotherapy can be beneficial to people of all ages and is used for ages ranging from young children to elderly people.
Physiotherapists have the skills and abilities to assess, diagnose and treat conditions based on musculoskeletal, neurological, cardio respiratory and other systems of the body. Stayfit Physio and Spinal Decompression Centre specializes in various physiotherapy treatments in Ottawa, including:
