What Is Physiotherapy And Why Is It Important?

Physiotherapy is a trusted science-based healthcare service that helps to restore movement and function in your body. Instead of only alleviating symptoms, physiotherapy in Mission seeks the true causes of problems with pain and movement – whether they are from injury, illness or surgery, or from the natural aging process.

Our Mission physiotherapists use care, exercises, treatments and guidance to help you feel better. The goal is not to simply get you through today – it is to provide you with the means and power to prevent future problems and keep you active and healthy.

How Does Physiotherapy Work?

Every physiotherapy session in our Mission clinic starts with a proper assessment. Your physiotherapist will assess your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, movement patterns and pain levels and then develop an individualized treatment approach.

Targets the Root Cause – Not Just the Symptoms

Unlike pain medication which masks discomfort for a period of time, physiotherapy aims to identify and treat the real source of your problem – whether that be a muscle imbalance, joint restriction, nerve irritation or faulty movement pattern.

Rebuilds Strength and Stability

The use of customized exercise programs helps re-build the muscle strength and joint stability required to work with injured areas, to protect vulnerable structures and to prevent a re-injury in the long term.

Returns Full Range of Motion

Manual therapy techniques, joint mobilizations, and focused stretching gradually return normal range of motion to stiff, restricted joints and tight muscles – getting you back on your feet pain-free!

Reduces Inflammation and Swelling Naturally

Through controlled movement, manual therapy and many other modalities such as laser therapy or shockwave therapy, physiotherapy works to actively reduce inflammation in the injured tissues which speeds up the natural healing process.

Provides Long-Term Pain Relief

By tackling the dysfunctions that drive persistent pain, physiotherapy provides relief on a lasting basis – not just temporarily. Many of our Mission patients decrease or get rid of their reliance on pain medication through a physiotherapy program.

Is Physiotherapy Safe?

Is Physiotherapy Safe?

Yes. Physiotherapy is one of the safest and better researched healthcare treatments out there. When done by a registered physiotherapist in Mission, it is very effective and has very little risk to the vast majority of patients.

Possible Minor Effects After Treatment

  • Temporary soreness of muscles for 24-48 hours
