May is National Physiotherapy Month, and thus, we felt it was a good time to share that there are many benefits to physiotherapy beyond injury treatment. In this blog from the Huffington Post, The Benefits of Physiotherapy Go Beyond Treating Injuries, Maureen Hagan explains the method of prehabilitation, what exactly physiotherapy is and why she decided to become a physiotherapist.
At Speers Health Clinics, we have experienced physiotherapists that help you reach your health care goals and keep your active lifestyle pain-free. Physiotherapists combine their knowledge of the body and how it works with specific hands-on clinical skills. They assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of injury or illness. Each case is extensively researched and tailored for each individual’s specific needs.
Physiotherapy treatments can include the following, but are not limited to:
• Exercise programs designed to improve muscle strength
• Improving joint ability and range of motion
• Improving overall functional mobility and balance
• Enhance performance
• Massage
• Airway clearance methods to treat breathing difficulties
