Physiotherapy in Oakville

Physiotherapy is a health care profession dedicated to working with people to identify and maximize their ability to move and function throughout their lifespan.

Physiotherapy is anchored in movement sciences and aims to enhance or restore function of multiple body systems.The profession is committed to health, lifestyle and quality of life. This holistic approach incorporates a broad range of physical and physiological therapeutic interventions and aids. Specifically, physiotherapists improve clients’ quality of life by:

Promoting optimal mobility, physical activity and overall health and wellness.
Preventing disease, injury, and disability.
Managing acute and chronic conditions, activity limitations, and participation restrictions.
Improving and maintaining optimal functional independence and physical performance.
