Physiotherapy
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of physical injuries and movement problems.
What does that really mean?
It means that at Seine River Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists can:
Help you to prevent injuries from occurring or reoccurring
Help to diagnose your condition
A Physiotherapist does not require a doctor’s referral to assess or treat your condition. We are extensively trained in muscle, joint, nerve, and ligament anatomy and by taking a detailed history of your complaints and evaluating your movement, strength, stability, and the glide of your joints, we can help determine your diagnosis.
