Physiotherapy
What is a physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals that play a key role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease.
Physiotherapists combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. All physiotherapists in Canada are qualified to provide safe and effective physiotherapy treatment.
