What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, or physical therapy, is a regulated healthcare profession in Canada that focuses on the prevention, treatment, and management of movement disorders. Physiotherapists assess the underlying causes of physical limitations and pain, then create custom treatment plans to restore function and improve quality of life.
According to the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), more than 21,000 physiotherapists are licensed across the country, offering services that improve recovery outcomes and reduce long-term reliance on medication. In fact, a 2021 Health Canada study found that individuals who received physiotherapy after surgery or injury returned to work an average of 16 days sooner than those who did not receive physical therapy.
Our Approach: Manual Therapy at the Core
At Adelaide West Physiotherapy, our primary focus is on manual physiotherapy—a specialized area of practice involving hands-on treatment techniques to address musculoskeletal and orthopedic issues. Manual therapy techniques improve joint mobility, reduce pain, restore alignment, and support healing. Unlike generalized physical therapy, manual therapy is a refined practice performed by highly trained clinicians with advanced certifications.

Joint Mobilizations
01
To increase range of motion and reduce stiffness.
Manipulation Techniques
02
Such as high-velocity low-amplitude thrusts for spine and joint alignment.
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
03
Involving active patient participation to improve joint function.
Soft Tissue Release
04
Including myofascial release and trigger point therapy.
Manual Stretching

For lengthening tight or overused muscle groups.
