Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy

The goal of physiotherapy is to help individuals recover from injuries, reduce pain, improve mobility, prevent disability, and promote overall health and wellness. Physiotherapists work with people who have musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular conditions, as well as those who have undergone surgery or experienced trauma.

Physiotherapists assess patients’ physical abilities and limitations, develop personalized treatment plans, and work with patients to achieve their goals. Treatment may include exercises to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility, manual therapy techniques such as massage and joint mobilization, electrotherapy, and education about proper body mechanics and posture.

Physiotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and respiratory conditions. It can also be useful for individuals who want to improve their fitness and prevent injuries.

If you have a medical condition that is affecting your mobility, function, or quality of life, you may benefit from physiotherapy. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out if physiotherapy is right for you.
