If you suffer from pain, limited mobility, or are recovering from an accident that significantly impacts your day-to-day function, then Health by Hamdon’s Physiotherapy Services can help you!
Physiotherapy, also known as Physical Therapy, is a form of treatment and rehabilitation that is aimed at restoring the body’s movement and function back to normal or near-normal, after being affected by an illness or injury— no matter what age you are or how active you were. Using a wide range of treatment modalities, such as manual therapy, exercises, and electrotherapy, physiotherapy can help you get back on your feet and achieve your optimal level of function once again.
