The main “Pillars” of Physiotherapy

• Education
• Manual Therapy
• Therapeutic Exercise
• Patient Centeredness

You should leave happy that your questions were answered, you know what is wrong with you and that you have a plan to address it.

Education takes many forms and can include: your diagnosis, x-ray reports, pain control strategies.

Manual Therapy involves some form of “hands on” treatment. This can include things like joint mobilization, spinal manipulation and muscle stretching,

Therapeutic exercise is not the same as going to the gym and getting fit. Treatment targets the mechanism(s) causing the problem you have and is very individualized.

Patient Centeredness also takes many forms and includes involving you in the decision making of your rehabilitation, the goals you have and understanding your unique life experiences and presentation
