Physiotherapy

What is a physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals.  Physiotherapists, as defined by the Canadian Physiotherapists Association, manage and prevent many physical problems caused by illness, disease, sport and work related injury, aging and long periods of inactivity.

Physiotherapists are skilled in the assessment and management of a broad range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems, including but not limited to providing pre- and postnatal care and attending to other women’s health conditions.

Inspire Physiotherapy provides preventative physical therapy intervention to reduce the risk of back injury, sprains and strains and urinary incontinence in women after having a baby.  The baby will be incorporated into the treatment plan and strategies to reduce the incidence of torticollis and positional plagiocephaly (baby flat head) will also be addressed.

Physiotherapy and fitness blends the knowledge and expertise of the health care professional with the motivation and lifestyle approach of the fitness professional.  Both practices incorporate a health and wellness concept to healthy, active living.
