Physiotherapy Q & A
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that uses physical techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, and education to help patients manage pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health and well-being.
What does a physiotherapist do?
Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of physical conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and neurological conditions. They also provide education and advice on how to prevent further injury or disability.
How do I know if I need to see a physio?
If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or limited mobility, you may benefit from seeing a therapist. They can assess your condition and provide a treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall function.
What kind of qualifications do physiotherapists have?
In Canada, they are required to have a master’s degree in physiotherapy and be registered with their provincial regulatory college. They must also maintain their registration by continuing to update their knowledge and skills.
How can physiotherapy help with chronic pain?
Physiotherapy can help to manage chronic pain by reducing inflammation and promoting healing, as well as by providing patients with education, exercises, and strategies to manage pain and improve overall function.
Do I need a referral?
It depends on your province and the insurance plan you have. In some provinces and for some insurance plans, a referral from a doctor is required. In other provinces and plans, you can see a physiotherapist directly.
How many sessions of physiotherapy are typically required?
The number of physiotherapy sessions required will depend on the specific condition and the individual patient. Some patients may only require a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment.
