Providing health care

"People are more familiar with the sports aspect of physiotherapy and don't realize that there is a whole other world of physiotherapy out there. We treat patients with [a variety of conditions from] chronic lung diseases up to spinal cord injuries.
"So many times people come to us when it's gotten to the point where they can't deal with the pain anymore. I think if we could get out in the community and advocate for more preventative type medicine, that might be of benefit for both the health care system as well as individuals to help take care of their bodies and avoid injury."
