COMMON INJURIES

AND HOW WE TREAT THEM

At Brockton Physiotherapy, we specialize in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries—from head to toe.

Whether you’re dealing with acute pain or a chronic condition, our team uses an evidence-based, personalized approach to help you recover, move better, and stay active.

We manage pain and promote healing through a variety of hands-on techniques including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilization, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation, and movement retraining.

Our integrated team—including physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and personal trainers—work collaboratively to support your goals.
