Health science foundation of practice

Your physiotherapist has specialized training in biological and basic sciences (i.e. human anatomy, physiology, pathology, immunology, endocrinology, genetics, and pharmacology to name a few). Physiotherapists are also educated in the psychosocial sciences, including cultural anthropology, cognitive and behavioural sciences, social science, learning and education.

Thanks to this broad health science training, physiotherapists are equipped to tackle the causes of physical health problems, deliver evidence-informed care, actively engage and inform you on all aspects of treatment, and release you in good health as quickly and as therapeutically possible.
