When you experience pain, it is often your body’s reminder you are taking it for granted. While serious cases are easier to detect, the pain we endure from day-to-day is often far less obvious. That’s where physiotherapy treatment can help.

At ProHealth Sports and Spinal, we treat a wide range of problems from chronic neck and back pain to acute sports injuries. We use our expertise to identify the underlying cause of your pain, from poor workplace ergonomics to inadequate running shoes.

Seeking physiotherapy treatments is an extended method of treatment, looking into different aspects of your life – from your daily routine, body type and posture, the sports and exercise you do or the lack of it, to giving you lifestyle tips and prescriptive exercises that prevent further pain and injury.

Physiotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal disorders (such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and ankle sprains)
• Neurological disorders (such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease)
• Cardiovascular and respiratory disorders (such as heart disease, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD))
• Sports injuries
• Post-surgical rehabilitation.

You should wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in easily. This may include shorts, a t-shirt, and athletic shoes. If you are being treated for a specific condition, your physiotherapist may recommend that you wear different clothing.

Physiotherapy can provide a number of benefits, including:

• Pain relief
• Improved range of motion
• Increased strength and flexibility
• Improved balance and coordination
• Reduced risk of further injury
• Improved quality of life

In most cases, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you are seeking physiotherapy for a condition that is also being treated by your doctor, you may need a referral.
