Description of Services:

Physiotherapists are trained in diverse areas such as neurology, orthopaedics, and cardiorespiratory assessment and treatment. Physiotherapy services are offered to both outpatients and inpatients.

After assessing a patient's condition, the therapist implements selected intervention(s) to safely relieve pain, to achieve and maintain health and fitness, and to optimize functional independence and physical performance. Physiotherapists educate the patient about his/her condition as much as possible. All therapists have developed advanced clinical expertise in an area of interest by taking continuing education courses.
