Physiotherapy as an alternative treatment

In order to make the right choice for your therapy, there is a good general guideline to follow: if your injury is completely debilitating, involves injury to the nervous system, or you have been diagnosed with a cardiorespiratory condition, the likely choice for your therapy would be a physiotherapist. They may be your best option following a serious motor vehicle accident as well.

However, if you are able to perform the basic activities of daily living but are still unable to exercise comfortably following an injury, then an athletic therapist is likely your best option for rehabilitation. Athletic therapists have the highest level of formal training for this phase of treatment, and should be the best equipped to help you reach your goals.
