The Department of Physiotherapy at Shilmoon Specialized Hospital provides physiotherapy services to both inpatients and outpatients. Through a holistic and clinically reasoned approach, we aim to help people of all ages and abilities to optimize mobility and function. Therapy is provided with patient-specific health goals in mind – whether it is to return to independent living, pre-injury status, or a sport or activity of choice. By performing assessments and applying clinical reasoning, individualized treatment plans are drawn up to address individuals’ needs.
Additionally, appropriate education is provided for individuals to understand their conditions. These are done in tandem with other healthcare professionals working in multi-disciplinary teams to ensure optimal and holistic care.

Manual therapy
Manipulation therapy
Core strengthening
