Physiotherapy Videos, Transcripts & Local Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy is a client-focused profession that is dedicated to helping people improve and regain physical mobility, reduce pain and disability, and improve overall health. Physiotherapists have an advanced understanding of how the body works and moves. HealthChoicesFirst has several physiotherapy videos and transcripts and local physiotherapist listings to help you.

A physiotherapist will assess patients following an injury, whether it's a sports injury or the result of a car accident. Your physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan and exercise program to help restore your strength and mobility and to reduce pain. How long you'll need to see your local physiotherapist depends on the extent of your injuries - he or she will regularly assess your progress and determine the length of treatment time.

How a Physiotherapist Can Help

Some of the injuries and conditions a physiotherapist might treat include:

Neck pain
Back pain
Injuries from car accidents
Repetitive strain injuries
Sports injuries
Head and spinal cord injuries
Multiple sclerosis
Cardiac events

Physiotherapists also commonly treat patients after surgery, for example a knee replacement, to help with recovery and rehabilitation.

Prenatal Physiotherapy

A lot of women wonder about the safety or prenatal physiotherapy. Generally, it is quite safe and effective (always talk to your physician first). Seeing a physiotherapist for prenatal physiotherapy can treat a wide variety of conditions that affect a women's body during pregnancy, including back pain, which is a common complaint. As the baby grows, it can put pressure on the sciatic nerve. Pregnant women may also have pressure on a spinal disc, or musculoskeletal changes can cause back pain.

Other common conditions that can be treated with prenatal physiotherapy are pelvic pain and pubic symphysis. In addition, a woman may see a physiotherapist after labour to treat low back pain, SI joint pain, pelvic pain, and pubic symphisis pain.
