May is National Physiotherapy Month!

We want to take a moment to celebrate and thank the over 27,000 registered physiotherapists who work across Canada.

WHAT IS A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?

Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals that play a key role in health promotion and the treatment of injury and disease.

Physiotherapists combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. All physiotherapists registered to practice in Canada are qualified to provide safe and effective physiotherapy treatment.

-
WHAT DO PHYSIOTHERAPISTS DO AND WHERE DO THEY WORK?

A physiotherapist’s goal is to get you moving. That means getting you to a place where you can be at your best functional capacity, maintaining that and then helping you to prevent future injuries.

They work in private clinics, general and rehabilitation hospitals, community health centres, residential care and assisted living facilities, home visit agencies, workplaces, and schools.

Physiotherapists work in all kinds of different areas, including orthopedics, pediatrics, pelvic health, neuro rehabilitation, cardiorespiratory rehabilitation, geriatrics, sports and more!

-
This year, the focus of National Physiotherapy Month is scope of practice. An excellent example of physiotherapists being able to work to their full scope of practice is the advocacy work by the NSPA around physiotherapists across the province being able to order x-rays for their patients.

Good news...

Starting in early Spring, all qualified physiotherapists in Nova Scotia (including those working in private practice), will be able to refer patients for x-rays.

“This announcement will optimize the scope of practice for Nova Scotia physiotherapists who work in private practice and as a result, improve timely access for patients needing general radiography,” says Monica MacDonald, President of the Nova Scotia Physiotherapy Association. “It will save patients from unnecessary additional appointments to get a requisition if an x-ray is deemed necessary. We are excited to better support our patients and help them efficiently navigate the healthcare system.”

It is encouraging to see reductions in system barriers that will expedite diagnosis and treatment, in turn leading to improved outcomes for patients.

Physiotherapists working to their full scope of practice are able to help alleviate the strain on our healthcare system.
