Sports, work, or play. Injuries can happen any where to anyone. In fact, millions of people in Canada and worldwide suffer from bodily pains in their muscles, nerves, joints, and tissue. If you are part of this statistic or have old injuries that keep flaring up, it may be time to see a physiotherapist. Pain in any part of the body prevents you from enjoying life as you should. Therefore, knowing how to deal with it is essential to improve your quality of life.
Physiotherapy is an effective evidence-based approach to treating and managing chronic pain, injury prevention, and disability management. Physiotherapy treatment can reduce the need for surgery; physiotherapists are commonly involved with post-surgery patients but they can also help prevent the need for surgery in the first place if you start working with a physiotherapist soon after an injury.
