IN PERSON & VIRTUAL PHYSIO
Physiotherapy is a health care profession that assists people in restoring, maintaining, and making the most of their mobility, function, and well-being. Physiotherapists have in-depth knowledge of how the body works and specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat symptoms of illness, injury and disability.
Proactive Fitness and Physio focuses on prevention, maintenance and rehabilitation of injuries as well as education so clients feel stronger and more capable of living their best lives. This is achieved through guidance, awareness and a plan that encourages a healthier lifestyle through movement.
Treatment can be for problems caused by injury, disease or disability.
At Proactive Fitness and Physio we help individuals increase mobility and feel more energized by encouraging healthy body movement. We will help you to….
- become stronger and more flexible
- increase freedom of movement and mobility
- breathe easier
- reduce pain
- stay active
- prevent injury
