Is there something you wish you could have done this year and didn’t? Join the pickle ball club? Take a hike or ride your bike? What stopped you? A painful body part, a weakness, a belief that you are too old? All of this can be improved with the right physiotherapy program and a physiotherapist who will hear your story, listen to your goals, and coach you towards your dream. Nothing feels as good as feeling strong and capable in your body. Make a wish and let your physiotherapist help you create your action plan for 2023.
