Today we wear our capes for Caleb's Courage 🦸♂️
March 24 is Superhero Day, created in honour of Caleb and the incredible superhero spirit he shared with everyone around him. His parents founded Caleb’s Courage to support little superheroes facing big battles.
The team at Cabot Physiotherapy is proud to wear our shirts and celebrate Caleb’s legacy — and the courage, strength, and kindness that continues to inspire our community. 💙
Did you know physiotherapists in Nova Scotia can refer patients for X-rays? 🩻
After assessing an injury, a physiotherapist can determine whether imaging may be needed and send a referral when appropriate -- streamlining the process to ensure you’re getting the right care for your injury without spending hours in the emergency room!
So if you’ve had an injury and aren’t sure what the next step should be, our team at Cabot Physiotherapy & Massage Therapy Clinic is here to help and make sure you get the care that’s right for you!💚

Walking into the clinic like we’re headlining a world tour. 🎸✨
Behind every great clinic is a playlist that keeps the energy high and the vibes even higher. We asked the team what their ultimate "walk-in" song would be, and they didn't disappoint!
Starting the day on the right note (literally) so we can give our patients our best energy. 🎶
Stay tuned for Part 2!
