5 Physiotherapy Myths We’re Built to Bust

In honour of Physiotherapy Month, we’re clearing up 5 common myths and sharing how we approach things differently at Lift Clinic.

May is Physiotherapy month in Canada and we’d like to recognize the diversity in approaches and care, and what makes physiotherapy at Lift Clinic different! 

Not all physiotherapy is the same. At Lift Clinic, we believe in proactive, personalized care that goes beyond the basics to help you move better and stay strong long-term. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.

 

Myth #1: Physiotherapy is only for injuries.

Our take: Physio is just as valuable for improving mobility, preventing injury, and optimizing performance. You don’t have to be in pain to benefit. 

Myth #2: All physios and clinics are the same.​

Our take: We prioritize 1:1 care and custom plans. Our approach goes beyond rehab basics to include strength training, Clinical Pilates, sport-specific warmups, and more.

Myth #3: You can just Google the right exercises.

Our take: The right exercises for you depend on the root cause of your issue. We assess and guide you with purpose – not guesswork.

Myth #4: Rest is the best way to heal.​

Our take: Guided movement usually beats rest. We help you rebuild strength and capacity through smart, progressive loading.

Myth #5: Pain during exercise means something is wrong.

Our take: Not always. We help you understand when pain is part of progress and when it’s a signal to adjust.

What does this mean for you?

We help you uncover root causes, move better, and stay active for the long haul. If you want clear answers and a plan that works, we’d love to work with you.
