What is physiotherapy? There are many excellent web-sites explaining this inquiry, and rather than re-inventing the wheel, we’ll direct you to:

A) Australia

http://www.physiotherapy.asn.au/index.php/physiotherapy-a-you/physiotherapy-a-you

B) Britain

http://www.csp.org.uk/director/public/whatphysiotherapy.cfm

C) Canada

http://www.physiotherapy.ca/

Canada came third for a simply reason - the site does not explain a lot.

D) Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_therapy

E) Eire

F) New Zealand

You may have noticed that regardless of your destination, the core message is that physiotherapy is used to assess, diagnose and treat physical conditions and illnesses that affect people in all ages and social groups, to assist in preventing injuries in the workplace or on the sports field, and to promote healthier lifestyles for all.

Welcome to our Clinic’s blog. The team at West End Physiotherapy Clinic will be using the blog to share their expertise and experience about physiotherapy in Vancouver and what’s new at the clinic.
