How do Physiotherapists and Chiropodists Work Together? Like Two Peas in a Pod.

 

MAY is National Physiotherapy Month AND National Foot Health Month, which is awesome because that's what we do at We-Fix-U. Say it with me…”WHOOT, WHOOT!”

A match made in heaven…cut from the same cloth…like peas and carrots… soul mates (or is it SOLE mates?  Ha! I’m so funny!).  Anyway, you catch my drift.  Our two core professions at We-Fix-U are reflected in our clinics’ name:  “Your Physiotherapy and Foot Health Centres”. Utilizing experts in these two fields whose skills so strongly complement each other, helps to return you to your maximum function and a pain free lifestyle.

After reading my last two blogs (and if you haven’t, you should), you now know what a physiotherapist is, and you also know what a chiropodist is.  But, you probably don’t know how these two amazing professions work together.

Well, they work together beautifully. Think about it…you know the song.  The foot bone’s connected to the - ankle bone, the ankle bone’s connected to the – knee bone, the knee bone’s connected to the – thigh bone, and the thigh bone’s connected to the-hip bone….  I’ll stop myself here.  I like to sing, but I can’t sing well.

 Pain and problems that occur in one part of your body may actually be caused because your feet are not working properly.  And if you have pain in your feet you may not actually have a foot problem at all.  That pain may be caused because you a compensating for a much larger problem somewhere else in your body.  Our goal at We-Fix-U is to get to the root of your problem, so we can get you better, fast and so we can prevent new problems from developing.  So, if you have back pain, pelvic pain, hip pain, leg pain, knee pain, ankle pain or foot pain, you can be assured that at some point during your escape from your world of pain and dysfunction as you experience We-Fix-U’s team approach, that your practitioner has consulted with another team member about you.  Or, perhaps a chiropodist and physiotherapist assess you together.  Or, perhaps one assesses but brings the other in to consult with you.  Or, perhaps you all sit together and discuss what your problems are and what needs to be done for you to get better. 

We are all one big happy “let’s get you better” team over here and that is why we have over 13,000 loyal patients who keep returning to us.  It’s because we have two guru professions under the same roof. It’s because of our team approach.   It’s because our staff in these two professions know how to get results.
