What is Physiotherapy?

It is a first contact, autonomous, client-focused health profession dedicated to:

• Improving and maintaining functional independence and physical performance;
• Preventing and managing pain, physical impairments, disabilities, and limits to participation; and
• Promoting fitness, health and wellness

Who is a Physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists are university-educated experts who can help you achieve your highest level of physical functioning (at any stage of life) by providing you with a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

When you see a registered physiotherapist, you can expect to receive top quality care from a qualified health professional. That's because every physiotherapist in the province must meet the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario's high standards for professional conduct and practice. They set rules and develop programs to ensure that members of the physiotherapy profession practice in your best interests.

Accreditation of a physiotherapy program and what that means!

By achieving accreditation, Limestone Health Consultants Inc. has demonstrated its commitment to ongoing quality improvement and person-centered services. Limestone has demonstrated conformance to the internationally accepted standards of care as set out by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

In February of 2007, Limestone underwent a rigorous accreditation review by CARF and in April 2007 was successful in receiving a 3 year accreditation for our general occupational rehabilitation program ? adults.
