What Is Physiotherapy?



Physiotherapy treats disease, injury, or malformations using physical methods such as massage, joint manipulation, or any other technique that isn't invasive or requiring surgery. A physiotherapist provides advice, guidance, exercise, and manual therapy to people with disabilities, injury or illness.



One key element of physiotherapy is that it takes a holistic approach to wellbeing and treatment, focusing on the whole person, including general lifestyle and health.



Physiotherapy's goal is to assist individuals in remaining independent and contributing as active citizens of society.
