What is physiotherapy?

Hands-on care that treats the cause

Physiotherapy is a hands-on, evidence-based approach to assessing, treating and preventing pain, injury and movement problems. At Recovery First, your physiotherapist works to understand the root cause of your symptoms — not just the pain — and combines manual therapy, exercise and education to help your body recover and function at its best.
