Physical therapy is also recognized as PT. These are trained and registered professionals who evaluate and treat abnormal physical function related to an injury, disability, or other health condition.

Registered Physiotherapists work in a range of healthcare settings, including outpatient offices, private practices, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, home health, sports and fitness settings, schools, hospices, occupational settings, government agencies, and research centers.

Importance of physIcal therapy

Physiotherapy professionals play an important role in treating and helping patients recover from a range of injuries, disabilities, and health conditions. Physical therapists are concerned about identifying and maximizing the quality of daily life and movement potential within the sphere of improvement, prevention, treatment, or rehabilitation.

Physiotherapy practice has come a long way from the early employed heat, electrical stimulation, and water-based treatments to improve movement and function. This is one of the generally suggested treatments to assist in the recovery of many injuries and conditions like chronic pain, sports injuries, and mobility issues can also be treated with the use of physiotherapy.

condItIons that could benefIt from physIcal therapy

As discussed, a physical therapist can provide supplementary treatment to a wide range of medical conditions depending upon the specialty. Although the physiotherapist might not directly and implicitly treat the medical condition unless it is about musculoskeletal conditions, they work closely with patients to optimize recovery or to educate them on how to improve their movement patterns.

Surrey Police Service Visits Newton Gurdwara During Vaisakhi

On April 10th, members of the new Surrey Police Service – Chief Constable Norm Lipinski, Staff Sergeant Sukh Sidhu and Sergeant Jag Khosa – visited Surrey Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Sahib to celebrate Vaisakhi with the local community. Chief Lipinski spoke to those in attendance and provided an update on Surrey’s policing transition, and to share information on how he is building a community-based policing model that is tailor-made for Surrey residents.

Surrey Police Service is striving to build a police service that reflects the community it serves. Understanding that Surrey is home to a large Sikh population and has many Sikh places of worship, Surrey Police Service has equipped all of their police officers with head scarfs so they can remain respectful to the Sikh community when they attend Gurdwaras for community engagement or other policing duties.

Recognizing the importance of educating police officers to understand the communities they serve, Surrey Police Service trains all of their officers on the diverse cultural make-up of Surrey. All officers who join SPS are provided with cultural sensitivity training, which includes an introduction to South Asian culture.

Surrey’s policing transition from the RCMP to Surrey Police Service is well underway, with 196 police officers now hired and over 60 Surrey Police officers deployed and actively responding to calls for service. This is part of the phased, integrated policing transition that has been approved by the three levels of government. Eventually, Surrey Police Service will become the official police of jurisdiction for Surrey. While the timeline has not yet been set for the transition of policing command, Chief Lipinski and his staff are working hard to ensure they have the technology, equipment, and resources in place to make this a smooth transition for all Surrey residents.
