HOLISTIC 
HEALING
• One of the basic things that 
physiotherapy can do, is to help with 
healing, but in a holistic way.
• Holistic healing is an approach to 
healing illness, injury, or a way to 
improve health by considering physical, 
psychological and social impacts on 
your health.

PREVENT 
SURGERY
• One common way physiotherapy can 
improve your lifestyle is by avoiding 
surgery.  
• Surgery is a critical part of healthcare 
and while it is needed in many aspects, 
there are certain situations when 
physiotherapy may be a better 
approach than surgery.

PERFORMANCE

the body.

MANAGE A 
DISEASE
• When you are newly diagnosed with a 
disease, it can be a bit scary to face it in 
the eye immediately after leaving the 
doctor’s office. 
• However, there are certain diseases that 
physiotherapy can help with while you 
go through the treatment process.

IMPROVE 
BALANCE
• Once you are assessed, the 
physiotherapist may guide you through 
a series of exercises and programs 
designed to maintain or improve your 
balance.

from physiotherapy so if you are worried 
about your balance, consider this an 
option.

fearful of attending social functions and

which is very negative for health and 
wellbeing.
