When to See a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy helps manage a wide range of conditions affecting muscles, joints, and overall mobility, including:
-
Neck and back pain – caused by muscle or skeletal problems
-
Musculoskeletal issues – arthritis, joint, muscle, and ligament problems, post-amputation care
-
Respiratory problems – such as asthma
-
Cardiac and stroke rehabilitation – treatment after a heart attack or stroke
-
Post-surgical care – e.g., hip or knee replacement recovery
-
Pelvic health issues – bladder and bowel concerns related to childbirth
-
Neurological conditions – loss of mobility from brain or spine trauma, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis
-
Cancer-related care – fatigue, pain, swelling, stiffness, and muscle weakness, including palliative care
Depending on your circumstances, a doctor or nurse practitioner may refer you to physiotherapy. Otherwise, you can seek physiotherapy services independently.
