It’s Physio Month and it is great to be recognized! There are many ways that physiotherapy impacts lives, but the main overall purpose of physiotherapy is to enhance physical function. People typically come in because of pain, whether it be from an acute injury such as an ankle sprain or a more long-standing concern such as chronic low back pain. Whatever it may be, as physiotherapists we are hear first and foremost to listen to your story. Having someone truly listen to your story and understand your condition and what motivates you to improve your overall health will set you up for success. Then, as a team, we make sure we incorporate your personal goals, make them achievable and measurable and most importantly, put you in the driver’s seat to be the leader of your own recovery!


It’s Physio Month… what MOVES you to live a healthier life?
