“Before my knee surgery, I dreaded the long recovery ahead. My doctor recommended prehab with a physiotherapist, and it was a game-changer. We strengthened the muscles around my knee, which made a huge difference.  I went into surgery stronger, and even my surgeon noticed the improvement. Thanks to the prehab, my recovery time was cut in half, and I was back on my feet faster than I expected.”

“When our daughter suffered a burn on her chest, we were worried about the physical and emotional scars. A physiotherapist became a key part of her recovery, teaching us exercises to ensure proper healing and maintain her range of motion. Most importantly, they made the sessions fun, helping her regain confidence. Today, her chest has healed beautifully, and she’s back to her bubbly, adventurous self, thanks to her physiotherapist.”

One Doctor. One Physio. Every Goal.

Just like you trust your family doctor to keep you healthy, a family physiotherapist is there to keep you moving.

Physiotherapy isn’t just for when something goes wrong. It’s for making sure everything stays right.

Physiotherapy Is For EVERYONE

Keep Your Family Moving Strong

Support for every age and stage.

Family life is a constant balancing act—whether you’re managing a toddler’s first steps, helping your teen recover from a sports injury, or staying active as a parent. Physiotherapy helps every member of the family stay strong, healthy, and ready for life’s next adventure.

For young children, physiotherapy can address developmental milestones, like improving balance and coordination. For active kids, it helps prevent and recover from injuries, ensuring they can stay in the game safely.

For parents, physiotherapy offers solutions to handle the demands of family life—whether it’s building strength to keep up with your kids or managing the physical toll of daily tasks, ensuring you stay active and energized.

For pediatric-specific support, your pediatrician can help you connect with specialized care. Learn more about pediatric rehabilitation with Alberta Health Services.

Helping You Age Gracefully and Actively

Stay Strong and Independent

Aging is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to slow down. Physiotherapy can help you maintain your strength, mobility, and independence so you can keep doing the things you love—whether it’s gardening, going for walks, or spending time with your grandchildren.

For those managing chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis, physiotherapy provides targeted treatments to improve joint function, reduce discomfort, and enhance your overall quality of life. It also helps prevent falls by focusing on balance and strength, ensuring you stay steady on your feet and avoid accidents.

If you’re recovering from surgery or an injury, physiotherapy speeds up your recovery and helps you regain strength and mobility safely. Alberta’s physiotherapists are here to support your journey toward healthy, active aging.

Physiotherapy for Athletes and Active Lifestyles

Push Your Limits, Perform Your Best

Whether you’re training for a marathon, hitting the gym regularly, or enjoying weekend hikes, physiotherapy helps you stay at the top of your game. It’s not just for injury recovery—physiotherapy is key to preventing injuries, improving performance, and optimizing your body’s strength, flexibility, and endurance.

With personalized care plans, physiotherapists can address muscle imbalances, improve your range of motion, and enhance your recovery time. From pre-workout routines to post-event recovery, they ensure you’re ready for whatever challenge comes next.

Whether you’re an elite athlete or simply someone who loves staying active, physiotherapy helps you reach your peak performance safely and effectively.

Physiotherapy for Life’s Big Moments

Prepare, Recover, and Thrive

Major life events, like pregnancy, surgery, or recovering from an illness, can bring significant changes to your body. Physiotherapy helps you navigate these transitions with confidence and strength.

Whether you’re preparing for a surgery or adjusting to the physical changes of pregnancy, physiotherapy creates a personalized plan to support your body through each stage.

From improving recovery times after surgery to maintaining strength during pregnancy or menopause, physiotherapists guide you through exercises and techniques that keep you strong, flexible, and ready to tackle life’s next chapter.

No matter what life throws your way, physiotherapy ensures you’re prepared and supported every step of the way.

Keep Your Body Working as Hard as You Do

Stay strong and healthy on the job.​

Whether you’re spending hours at a desk or handling physically demanding tasks, work can take a toll on your body. Physiotherapy is here to help you prevent injuries, manage discomfort, and stay strong—no matter the type of job you do.

For office workers, physiotherapy can alleviate the strain caused by repetitive motions, long hours of sitting, and muscle imbalances by helping you strengthen your core, maintain mobility, and improve overall movement efficiency.

For manual labourers, it’s about building resilience, preventing injuries, and keeping your muscles and joints in top condition.

With the right care, you can stay healthy, energized, and ready to tackle whatever your workday throws at you. 

Take the next step in your health journey, and let physiotherapy help you perform your best at work—day in and day out.

Live Better With Chronic Conditions

Take control of your health and stay active.​

Chronic pain and long-term health conditions can feel like they’re running your life, but physiotherapy can help you regain control.

Whether it’s managing arthritis, nerve pain, or recovering from old injuries, physiotherapy offers a personalized approach to help you improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and stay active.

With expert guidance, physiotherapy helps you build strength, improve flexibility, and develop strategies for managing pain. It’s not just about getting by—it’s about living your life to the fullest, even with chronic conditions.

Don’t let pain hold you back. Physiotherapy can empower you to stay active and feel stronger every day, giving you the tools you need to improve your quality of life.

“As an avid cyclist, I ignored minor aches until they became major problems, losing weeks to recovery. I finally visited a physiotherapist for preventative care, and they created a custom plan with targeted exercises. Now, my aches are gone, and my performance has improved. Thanks to my physiotherapist, I’m no longer waiting for injuries—I’m preventing them.”

“When I was 43, my doctor told me I had the bones of a 70-year-old. I feared a future of broken bones and stooped posture like my grandmother. I worried about everyday things like walking my dog or doing housework. Then I found Jane, my physiotherapist. She taught me exercises to improve my bone density, strength, and balance. My back pain has eased, and I’m more active now than ever.”

Yes, you can see a physiotherapist without a doctor’s referral. And other answers.

Physiotherapy is a health profession that helps people recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, increase mobility, and improve overall well-being. Physiotherapists use a holistic approach to treatment, consider the lifestyle of a client, their unique challenges and goals.

Alberta’s physiotherapists are primary care providers, so you can see a private physiotherapist without a referral. While some insurance providers may require a referral, many don’t. Physiotherapists are skilled health professionals who can assess your condition independently. However, checking your specific insurance plan is always a good idea.

Physiotherapy is incredibly versatile and can help manage and improve various conditions – from chronic diseases, post-surgery recovery, and injuries to general physical wellness. However, the effectiveness can vary depending on your situation and health history. A consultation with a physiotherapist will provide you with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your particular needs.

Many insurance plans include physiotherapy coverage, but you should verify this with your provider. Even if it’s not covered, remember that physiotherapy is an investment in preventing bigger health issues in the future.

On your first visit, you will undergo a thorough assessment of your condition and a personalized treatment plan will be developed for you. Your physiotherapist will also answer any questions and address any concerns you might have. It’s a collaborative process.

The timeline for improvement can vary widely, depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual factors. Your physiotherapist can give you an idea of the expected timeline based on your initial assessment and ongoing progress.

You can use our ‘Find a Physiotherapist’ tool on our website (coming soon!). It will connect you with qualified physiotherapists in your area based on your specific needs.

You deserve the best care. We’re here to help you find it.

Physiotherapy can have mental health benefits, particularly when it comes to managing stress and anxiety. Techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, and yoga, which many physiotherapists incorporate into their treatment plans, can help manage mental health.

When you choose a physiotherapist, you’re choosing a highly trained professional, committed to their field, regulated by a rigorous professional body, and constantly striving to provide the best possible care for their patients

To practice as a physiotherapist in Alberta, individuals must complete a rigorous professional education and certification journey. For more info on physiotherapist qualifications, please visit About Physiotherapy.
