ABOUT US
South Simcoe Physiotherapy believes strongly that in order to maximize your progress, physiotherapy treatment must be one-on-one, and be provided by a physiotherapist. As such, each client is treated independently by a highly skilled physiotherapist; no assistants or aides are used.
All of our therapists regularly engage in continuing education in order to stay current on breaking techniques and upgrade their skills. They will develop a highly individualized treatment plan in order to allow you to: GET BETTER. FASTER.
