Our Physiotherapy team will work with you to improve: mobility, physical activity, and overall health and wellness. Treatments typically include an individual assessment by a physiotherapist, followed by team-based care including education on self-management and active exercise prescription. Examples of conditions treated by physiotherapy might include: osteoarthritis, athletic and sports injuries, rotator cuff injuries, COPD/breathing difficulties, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, balance and falls concerns, and vestibular problems such as vertigo.
