Physiotherapy in Victoria BC

In-Clinic Services

The best physiotherapy practice requires the appropriate equipment and space to be effective. These include the most important pieces of assessment equipment: the therapist’s hands, eyes, and experience. Other pieces of equipment or specialized programs can aid in the treatment of various injuries and illnesses. At Town and Country Physiotherapy, we are fortunate to have 1,500 square feet of treatment and rehabilitation gym space, with eight treatment beds and up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic equipment used in evidence based practice and research.

Home visit physiotherapy treatments makes sense for many people who have suffered a stroke, severe injury or surgery and are unable to attend in-clinic.

Educating care-givers and coaching family members eager to assist in the process is fundamental to progress towards independence.
