"Just recently I wasn’t able to make an appointment, but they were able to reschedule for later that very day! I really appreciate this as my schedule can get quite busy. I’ve only had a few massage therapy sessions for my back pain/soreness with them, and it’s already started to feel so much better allowing me to return to my regular physical activities. Overall fantastic service and accommodation, would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning should I face any future pains or soreness."
"Melissa Altherum, the physio I have been seeing there is top notch. I have been to many physios over the years, and am very impressed with her knowledge and ability to explain what is happening/why, along with her gentle and supportive approach. My knee is finally better and I have been able to get back to activities I love and even new ones I didn't think I could ever do! I recommend her 100%. The clinic is also very clean, modern and organized, with wonderful staff.
"BETA Therapeutics and all of their staff are fantastic. They always go above and beyond to ensure that I feel comfortable and am well supported. Their new location is lovely and The front desk staff are very accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments."
These two terms can often be a source of confusion for patients who are looking to find the most appropriate care for their needs. Although sometimes referred to as a Physiotherapist and other times as a Physical Therapist, there is no discernable difference between the two in Canada. The use of each term in the context of manual therapy focuses on the same goal of therapeutic rehabilitation for a patient.
A BETA Therapeutics Physio, or PT, will use movement, hands on techniques, dry needling techniques (IMS, acupuncture), electrotherapy, and an individually tailored rehabilitation program to restore, improve and maximize a patients strength, range of motion and overall well-being.
Physical Therapy is beneficial for individuals of any age, including children and seniors. If you have experienced an injury at the gym, surgery, or even a motor vehicle accident, physiotherapy can help. Physiotherapy is also ideal for those looking to incorporate more physical activity into their lives or those looking to begin a new physical activity. Through preventative care, a physiotherapist can help reduce the risk of injury and increase the time you spend doing the things you enjoy.
