Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession concerned with the restoration, maintenance, and improvement of physical function and movement potential. Physiotherapists are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems. They use a variety of physical techniques, including exercise, manual therapy, education, and assistive devices, to help patients improve their mobility, strength, pain levels, and overall well-being.

Physiotherapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Musculoskeletal conditions: such as arthritis, back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and fractures
  • Neurological conditions: such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy
  • Cardiovascular conditions: such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease
  • Pulmonary conditions: such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis
  • Women's health conditions: such as pregnancy-related pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and incontinence
