Elevate Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy isn’t just for athletes

#PhysioCanHelp

Care for all, not just for athletes.

When most people think about physiotherapy and its services they automatically think of athletes and post surgical rehabilitation. However, that is NOT the case; physiotherapists in Canada can help ALL people, regardless of their age and can help with a wide variety of health conditions. Whether you need assistance to be able to move better, recover from an injury, or just want to be able to knock down the barrier(s) keeping you from achieving your goal, physiotherapy can help.

Generally speaking, physiotherapists can help prevent an injury from developing and prevent re-injury or pain from developing into a chronic condition. It is our job as physiotherapists to hep YOU understand the pain you’re experiencing and how to manage it.

Physiotherapy can help people of all ages with medical conditions, illnesses or injuries that limit their regular ability to move and function. Here are some ways that physiotherapy could benefit you –

• Recover from injury or trauma
• Decrease or eliminate pain
• Improve mobility and movement
• Avoid surgery
• Pre- and Post-surgery
• Sports injury or injury prevention
• Recover from Stroke or paralysis
• Improve balance
• Falls prevention
• Manage age related issues
• Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)

To recap, anyone from any walk of life, from babies to athletes to seniors, can benefit from physiotherapy services. If you or someone you know has experienced anything from sprains, strains and surgery to a MVA or just want to become more physically active, physiotherapy can help. Seeking a solution to your pain is important; in most cases, the longer a problem exists the more complicated it becomes.
