How we treat
Physiotherapy treatments may consist of a combination of orthopedic manual physiotherapy, pelvic floor physiotherapy, education and exercise.
What is orthopedic manual physiotherapy?
Orthopedic manual physiotherapists use their hands to diagnose and treat restrictions in movement in the spine, arms and legs in conjunction with specifically tailored exercise to treat pain and stiffness.
Learn more about orthopedic manual physiotherapy from the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy website.
What is pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapists use their hands and/or instruments to re-educate and strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor in conjunction with specifically tailored exercise to coordinate the pelvic floor muscles with the other muscles of the abdominal core.
