What do Physiotherapists do?

Physiotherapists provide assessment, treatment and education for a wide range of health problems to ensure you make the most of your lifestyle. As people live longer and busier lives than ever before, ts not surprising that our bodies occasionally need assistance to stay in good working order. Physiotherapists can recommend the best way to treat problems with your muscles, bones and joints, circulatory, respiratory or nervous system. Physiotherapists can also advise you on ways to prevent potential health problems from occurring before they arise.

Every year physiotherapists assist thousands of Canadians of all ages, from babies to the elderly, in preventing and managing the effects of congenital diseases, illness, chronic diseases, neurological conditions, accidents and the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Physiotherapists are university educated, regulated health professionals that play an important role within your health care team. To ensure physiotherapists across the country apply consistently high standards, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, the Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators and the physioterapy colleges of each province regulate the practice of physiotherapists in the public interest.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapists view the human being as a combination of physical, psychological, social and cultural variables within an environment.

Occupations are referred to as groups of activities and tasks that make up everyday life including looking after oneself (self-care), contributing to the socail and economic aspects of the community (productivity), and enjoying life (leisure).

People seek Occupational Therapy intervention typically because they are unable to carry out tasks and activities that are important to them in their day to day lives.

Occupational therapists work with people of all ages to prevent disability and to promote, maintain, restore occupational health and well-being. Their broad vision is:

"To enable people who face emotional, physical orcl barriers to develop healthy patterns of occupation and to choose meaningful occupations which develop their personal and social resources for heath."

Occupational Therapists are university educated, regulated health professionals that play an important role within your health care team. To ensure Occupational Therapists across the country apply cosistently high standards, the Canadian Occupational Theapists Association, the Alliance of Occupational Therapy Regulatores and the Occupational Therapy colleges of each province regulate the practice of Occuaptional Therapists in the public interest
