Have you noticed your shoulder blade hurts when you turn your head/neck to look over your shoulder? Have you been told your hip is causing your knee pain? At Physio For Life, our physiotherapists are musculoskeletal experts and can help you identify the true source of your pain and, more importantly, how to resolve it.
Physiotherapy started as a profession to help people alleviate pain and restore their function after injury and disease. The main emphasis was on passive treatments like heat and massage. The new generation of physiotherapists emphasizes movement as an essential element of health and well-being.
We assess the entire body, including the individual’s expectations, thoughts, and feelings, to identify the factors contributing to their condition. We then develop a program with long-term outcomes in mind. It is through this shift in focus to the whole body as an integrated system that Physio For Life in Vancouver excels.

What is the integrated systems model?
In physiotherapy, we understand the importance of the interdependence of the body’s systems. Our body consists of an intricate and interconnected web of connective tissue, muscles, joints, and nerves.
When functioning correctly, these systems work as an integrated unit. If one part breaks down or becomes restricted for any reason, it will undoubtedly affect the rest of the body. Our physiotherapists use the integrated systems model to identify seemingly unrelated impairments in different anatomical regions that may contribute to or cause your primary complaint.
Too often, people assume that their pain is also the site of their problem. We can help you weed through your symptoms and identify the root cause of your condition. Our integrated approach will address the weakest link in the chain, no matter where that link is, even if it is at a distance from the symptomatic area.
An integrated approach aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility and strength and restore balance to the whole body.
