Over the next few months I'll collect and share information on the different health professionals that work here at CKHA. We'll start with the Physiotherapist group.
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession directed at evaluating, restoring and maintaining physical function. There are 7,000 registered physiotherapists in Ontario and 12 of the very best work here at CKHA. As primary healthcare professionals, Physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. With independence in mind, a Physiotherapist's goal is to restore, maintain and maximize strength, function, movement and overall wellbeing.
Working under the direction of the CKHA Physiotherapists are 10 Physiotherapy Assistants (PTA's) and 1 Kinesiologist to complete the team that provides the patient and family a therapeutic treatment plan and essential education about the body and how to keep it healthy.
