A Bodyfocus Physiotherapist’s goal is to break the cycle of injury to prevent future re-injury. It’s a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.

Often times it can be a collaborative effort between your Bodyfocus Physiotherapist and other health professionals – they do whatever is necessary to get you on the quickest path to recovery.

This approach is built on a treatment process developed by industry-leading healthcare professionals and proven through years of evidence-based research. The approach is comprised of direct engagement with injured tissues through mechanical stimuli and manual interventions to initiate tissue re-modelling—turning movement into tissue healing.
