Physiotherapy in Midtown Toronto
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is the treatment of improving your quality of life by promoting mobility and therefore, improving overall health and well-being. Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT have to be an athlete or have an injury to see a physiotherapist! Prevention and maintenance are critical and physiotherapists can help with all aches and pains.
How does it work?
After a thorough health and social history, your physiotherapist will assess you via physical tests and measures, such as investigating your range or motion or strength. During the course of your treatment, the physiotherapist may incorporate soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization, personalized exercise and other modalities to improve your healing time and enhance your functional mobility. While many physiotherapists prefer using a variety of machines in their practice, The Village Health Clinic is strictly a hands-on treatment approach.
What can physiotherapy treat?
Physiotherapists can treat almost anything and encourage people to come in before they are even injured. However, if that happens, common issues physios treat are: sprains and strains, joint injuries and stiffness, any pain with movement, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, and sciatica.
