Physiotherapy also helps prevent health problems and supports independence in everyday life.

What does a physiotherapist do?

Physiotherapy is provided by a physiotherapist — a specially trained rehabilitation professional who:

  • Assesses joint mobility, muscle strength and flexibility, posture, gait and other aspects of physical function to identify the patient’s problems
  • Develops a treatment plan and sets goals
  • Teaches the patient exercises suited to their condition
  • Monitors progress and adjusts the treatment plan when necessary
  • Evaluates the treatment process and its outcomes
  • Provides advice on preventing and managing health problems

You can be referred to a physiotherapist by your family doctor, a rehabilitation physician or another specialist. You can also pay for the service yourself.
