About Physiotherapy in Edmonton

Physiotherapy promotes wellness, mobility and independent function.  Physiotherapists have advanced understanding of how the body moves, what keeps it from moving well and how to restore mobility.

Is Physiotherapy for Me?

Physiotherapists are experts on movement and function.  At In Step Physical Therapy our Physiotherapists are skilled at assessing and managing a range of conditions including:

• Physical conditions such as back pain, arthritis and repetitive strain injury
• Sports injuries
• Paediatric conditions such as developmental delay, fractures and cardiorespiratory conditions
• Post surgery recovery
• Physical complications of cancer and its treatment
• Incontinence
• Mobility problems related to neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury or Parkinson’s disease
• Pre- and post-natal problems and other women’s health conditions
• Neck and back pain and other joint injuries
• Respiratory and cardiac conditions

Physiotherapists in Edmonton can also help you to prevent most of the above conditions by offering advice on posture, exercise, workplace and lifestyle habits.

At In Step Physical Therapy your Physiotherapists work as part of a team with you and sometimes other health care providers or sports coaches.  The success of your physiotherapy program usually requires your co-operation outside of our Physiotherapy clinic.  You will probably be required to participate in an exercise program or some modifications to your postural or lifestyle habits.  Your dedication to your Physiotherapy "homework" will greatly enhance the outcome of your Physiotherapy program and will help you to achieve your goals as quickly as possible.
