Physiotherapists
are independent health care practitioners who assess and treat Orthopaedic
injuries, sports injuries, car accident injuries, post surgical rehabilitation,
cardiorespiratory, and neurological conditions as well as many related
conditions and ailments, both in Private Practice and in all Canadian Hospitals.
The roots of Physiotherapy date back to the World Wars, when extra medical
staff was required to help rehabilitate injured soldiers. The need for
increased awareness of medical pathologies gradually led to the current,
broad medical education which all Physiotherapists receive. Physiotherapists
are trained in a recognized Canadian University’s
Faculty of Medicine, and have a previous degree to enter
the Physiotherapy program. You do not require a Doctor’s referral to see
a Physiotherapist since they are Primary Healthcare Providers and
are fully qualified, to diagnose and treat conditions
which are within the scope of practice of Physiotherapy. A Registered Physiotherapist
will refer you back to your Doctor if your condition is found to be beyond
the scope of Physiotherapy. You can get more information about Physiotherapy
from the Ontario Physiotherapy
Association.
