What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a clinical science dedicated to the improvement of movement, function and well-being by physical means.
The word “physiotherapy” comes from the Greek words phusis meaning “natural” and therapia meaning “therapy”.
Physiotherapists are experts in prevention, treatment and rehabilitation using non-invasive evidence-based techniques and are an important part of the modern medical system.
How does it work?
Initial appointments usually involve a thorough client interview, physical assessment and treatment planning based on client goals.
Categories of treatment are divided into five main sections: manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education, physical aids and electro-physical agents.
Clinical reasoning, the latest research and client collaboration will determine the most effective approach for your needs.
Can I benefit from physiotherapy?
Anyone can benefit from a physiotherapy consultation — even just to set some general health goals and be guided through a realistic plan to achieve them.
