Physiotherapy is treatment to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient's mobility, function, and well-being.
Physiotherapy helps through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness.
Physiotherapists get you involved in your own recovery.
Physical therapy will help you strengthen the muscles associated with your injury as well as surrounding muscles.
Often, strength imbalances lead to injury.
Improve outcomes: Physical therapy helps improve post-surgical outcomes, by addressing pain, scar tissue, strength, range of motion, and more.
The most basic difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy is that a PT focuses on improving the patient's ability to move their body whereas an OT focuses on improving the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living.
