When you say the words “physiotherapy” most people automatically assume you have had surgery.

Also known as “hands-on therapy,” manual therapy is a specialized treatment performed by licensed physiotherapists. During this treatment, your Burlington physiotherapist will manipulate joints and soft tissue with nothing more than their hands. That means no intimidating machines or equipment involved – just hands!

There is a dangerous trend of equating an injury with how visible the problem is. Of course a broken bone or a torn ligament is going to create a scene, but this isn’t a failsafe way to judge an injury. When an athlete blows out their knee it becomes something that everyone can see, and the pain on the player’s face merely confirms what everyone else is already thinking: that injury is real, that injury is painful, that person is going to need medical attention.

Our knee braces are custom made for you and we are able to provide bracing for all types of knee, shoulder and other joint problems such as the elbow or wrist.
