At CSA Physiotherapy (51 Ave), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Gini frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- The path to recovery from that 'pins and needles' feeling that won't go away and achieving improved breathing mechanics and capacity through postural correction for painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache often starts with expert guidance. Gini, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
- Many individuals seek help from Gini, their physiotherapist, when widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like managing the physical demands of your job without constant pain.
- Through personalized physiotherapy at Gini's clinic, common concerns like an awkward gait or limping when I walk are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of more comfortable and efficient movement when transitioning between positions (e.g., sit to stand). This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like using garden tools effectively and without pain.
