Most are recovering from surgery or trauma, such as fractures, wounds, amputations or burns, but she also treats some patients in the Psychiatry unit. Her goal is to evaluate the patient’s physical status and implement an individualized treatment plan to get the patient up and moving again so they are able to return home safely with the best possible quality of life.

Let’s celebrate National Physiotherapy Month!

National Physiotherapy Month is a time to celebrate the profession and recognize the expertise and care physiotherapists offer patients. This year's theme – YES YOU CAN, and Physiotherapy can help – focuses on healthy aging. I wish to take this opportunity to thank each one of our 50 physiotherapists as well as two physical rehabilitation therapists for their professionalism, hard work and commitment in providing excellent care to all patients and their families across the MUHC adult sites. – Diana Valentini, manager of Physiotherapy Services (adult sites) at the MUHC.
