How can physiotherapy help you?
Many Albertans have an illness, injury or condition which makes movement difficult and impacts activities of day living (ADL’s), which include working, participating in hobbies or activities. Physiotherapists are highly trained experts on how your body moves and what stops it from moving. They use a hands-on approach to help restore, maintain or improve physical function, mobility and movement. In Alberta, physiotherapy is a regulated health care profession, which means only qualified professionals can become registered physiotherapists.
