Registered Physiotherapy:

WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Physical therapists are registered healthcare professionals who specialize in how the human body moves.

What Can I Expect From a Physical Therapist?

Physical therapists treat people who have a loss of function from health conditions, injuries, or disabilities.

The first step is assessment. When you first visit a physical therapist, they will:

• talk to you about the history of the problem you’re experiencing
• examine your muscles and joints to assess your movement and strength
• they may also do some on-the-spot tests and take some measurements

Once the assessment is complete, your physical therapist will:

• explain their initial thoughts and findings with you
• discuss possible goals and treatment options available
• work with you to make a plan based on your goals
• monitor your progress and modify treatment as needed

One key aspect in all physical therapy is education. Throughout your treatment, your physical therapist will teach you:

• about your body and how it moves
• how to do exercises safely and effectively
• how to manage your condition and prevent future problems

Throughout your care, your physical therapist keeps a written record of your treatment. If needed and you agree, the physical therapist communicates with others involved in your care.
