Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy? 
Physiotherapy is a health care profession concerned with the assessment, maintenance, and restoration of the physical function and performance of the body. It is a distinct form of care which can be performed both in isolation or in conjunction with other types of medical management eg post surgery or while on medication. We aim to provide our patients with a speedy and complication-free return to normal activity.
At Fiona McDevitt Physiotherapy is currently based at Lymph Balance Centre, Calgary where we offer our clients a thorough assessment to find the root cause of the movement dysfunction. We offer evidence-informed, hands-on treatment and support for the whole body.
With almost over thirty years’ experience treating a wide variety of injuries and conditions including sports injuries, spinal and disc disorders and orthotic prescriptions, Fiona McDevitt Physiotherapy provides our clients with the highest standards of clinical experience, care and professionalism. We also have a strong commitment to ongoing professional development, ensuring that you the client will benefit from the most up-to-date information and treatment.

Spinal conditions
Spinal conditions in particular need to be treated promptly if long term disability and prolonged treatment are to be prevented.
Postural low back pain can be the start of more significant back problems such as disc problems. Long hours at a computer with poor sitting posture can contribute to lower back pain. See a physiotherapist for ergonomic advice.
