Physiotherapist helping a patient

If you are having difficulty moving, our physiotherapists can help. Physiotherapists can help you improve your physical performance; prevent and manage pain; and increase your fitness, health and wellness. They can give you a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs to achieve your goals. To design a plan for you and then put it into action, physiotherapists:

Assess your ability to move
Give you information about your condition
Show you how to exercise and improve your breathing, strength, movement and activity level
Connect you with community resources or rehabilitation institutions
