Physiotherapists focus on both prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal (bone, muscle, joint) pain and dysfunction.  Treatment can be for problems caused by injury, disease or disability. Some examples include:

​

• Neck and back pain caused by problems in the muscles and skeleton

• Problems in the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments, such as arthritis and the after-effects of amputation

• Lung problems such as asthma

• Disability as a result of heart problems

• Pelvic issues, such as bladder and bowel problems related to childbirth

• Loss of mobility because of trauma to the brain or spine, or due to diseases such as Stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis

• Fatigue, pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of muscle strength, for example during cancer treatment or palliative care

 

A telephysio initial assessment includes understanding your personal and physical history and the limitations of your injury in a holistic way. An objective assessment is completed to rule in or rule out a possible trigger. 

 

Treatments include education and exercise therapy to get you back to your normal. Physiotherapy is an active treatment where the therapist often gives client the tools to heal and reach your goals.
