What is Orthepedic Physiotherapy?

Orthopedic physiotherapy is a therapy that evaluates, treats, and aims to prevent bodily injuries that occur through wear and tear or through unexpected injuries. Using only conservative methods, physiotherapists evaluate how you move, how strong you are, how your nerves are working and many other aspects of your physical capacity. After developing a clinical diagnosis through extensive testing and experience, the therapist then treats the injury through manual techniques, exercise, education and pain relief modalities. At times referrals are made to other health care professionals if deemed necessary by the physiotherapist. Physiotherapy can be appropriate at any age and for any activity level.
