What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy refers to the practice of using manual therapy, exercises, stretches, and other techniques to promote, maintain, and restore physical function and mobility. Physiotherapists are licensed healthcare professionals who assess and treat various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and injuries.Some common areas that physiotherapists provide treatment for include musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, sprains, and strains. Additionally they provide pre and post-operative care, and treat sports injuries. Physiotherapy treatment plans are tailored to the patient's specific needs to achieve the best possible outcomes.
