What does the Wallis Center offer?
Our experienced physiotherapists specialize in the most advanced methods for the prevention andrehabilitation of a wide range of injuries. The professional physiotherapy services we offer include tailor-made programs and extensive muscle, skeletal and functional assessments to determine the exact causes of your symptoms and pains.
By alleviating and preventing your acute or chronic movement dysfunction,we enable you to return to an active lifestyle and to optimum health.
The rehabilitation process begins immediately following the injury-causing event. Our goal is to ensure that patients coming to us after complicated surgery, road accidents and serious injury will return as soon as possible to full functionality.
Thus, for instance, a musician who stopped playing music following a serious hand infection was able to return to full functionality; a professional dancer who suffered injury went back to dancing; and an athlete who underwent difficult surgery resumed marathon running.
Our motto is that we will get even immobile patients walking.
For bed-ridden clients, we suggest commencing treatment at home and then continuing later at our clinic.
Our goals are:
Reducing pain
Improving and strengthening muscle and movement
Promoting healthy and independent lifestyle
Bringing you to maximum functionality and activity
