When treating patients with various conditions a local physiotherapist may use techniques such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, rehabilitative ultrasound, manual therapy, exercise and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Whether you have heart disease, an orthopedic condition, obesity or a mental health issue, a local physiotherapist can help. When you see a local physiotherapist, he or she will take your health history and evaluate strength, range of motion and pain levels. A local physiotherapist may work with your local family physician to create a treatment plan to improve mobility, functionality and well-being.
