Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care
At Advanced Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Sam frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Many find that experiencing discomfort, back pain, or pelvic girdle pain during or after pregnancy significantly impacts their ability to walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness. Sam helps patients target increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
- Patients often come to Sam feeling defeated by feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving getting back to hiking, running, or cycling pain-free and with renewed vigor and resuming setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
- Patients struggling with that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work can find dedicated and compassionate support from Sam. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back.
- The path to recovery from pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard and achieving being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury for participating in community events and social gatherings more actively often starts with expert guidance. Sam, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Sam, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.
