๐Ÿšซ PT Myth: Meniscus tears always require surgery In reality, research shows that physiotherapy and exercise can be just as effective as surgery for many types of meniscus tears โ€” without the added risks that come with an operation.

A 2018 study compared surgical and conservative (exercise-based) treatments and found no significant difference in outcomes at 12 months. More recent research has shown the same trend โ€” and in some cases, surgery may even increase the long-term risk of osteoarthritis.

๐Ÿ’ก What this means:If your tear isnโ€™t complex or obstructive, physiotherapy may be your best first step. If youโ€™re unsure or want guidance on the right plan for your recovery, reach out to our team โ€” weโ€™re here to help you move better, with confidence.

The summer I realized strength training isnโ€™t optional โ€” itโ€™s essential.

This is not just for athletes, but for anyone who wants to move better, age well, and stay independent.

Strength training builds resilience, protects bone density, improves balance, and supports long-term recovery.

At our clinics, we see it every day โ€” strength changes everything.

We donโ€™t just lift for performance; we lift for life.

Did you know the Canadian Physiotherapy Code of Conduct preserves your right to choose which clinic you want to go to โ€” no matter who is paying?

That means people involved in car accidents, WCB (work-related injuries), legal cases, and sports teams or organizations are all currently free to decide where they receive treatment โ€” without worry of any negative impact to their case or situation.

Some insurance companies or employers may provide a list of โ€œpreferred providers,โ€ but this is only a suggestion โ€” you are never required to attend a specific clinic. Your claim, benefits, or case will not be affected by choosing a physiotherapist you trust.

Because physiotherapy is a regulated medical profession, your rights as a patient are protected under the Canada Health Act and by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, which promote ethical and patient-centred care for all Canadians.

Your recovery, your choice.
