Physiotherapists are direct-access practitioners, meaning patients can visit physiotherapists directly (self-referral) without waiting for a physician referral.... Physiotherapy self-referral benefits both patients and the health-care system! Patient benefits include: Better outcomes (e.g. pain) for the patient Increased likelihood that patients will achieve their treatment goals Self-referred patients miss less work Self-referred patients also use less prescription drugs and have fewer x-rays and require fewer visits to their physician Reduced volume of referrals to specialists Overall health-care costs for self-referred patients are lower You can also find physiotherapists in a variety of health care settings including private clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community centres, in homes, universities, research groups, and community outreach teams.

Physiotherapy is a broad and fascinating field. Physios are everywhere and in so many different practice areas! From private practice orthopedics, to the ICU, t...o stroke rehabilitation to conducting research. What they all share in common is a passion to help people get back to doing the things they love. Thank you to Dalhousie University for this incredible video and to the physiotherapists who shared their stories. - For more information about physiotherapy in Nova Scotia visit https://www.physiotherapyns.ca/
