Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare discipline that helps individuals restore and maintain physical strength, mobility, and overall well-being. It involves personalized treatments tailored to address injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery.
Physiotherapy considers the whole person, not just the physical symptoms. It takes into account emotional, social, and environmental factors that may impact recovery and health.
Physiotherapists use scientific research and clinical expertise to guide treatment decisions and ensure effective interventions.
Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs, preferences, and goals, empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery.
Physiotherapists educate patients on injury prevention, exercise techniques, and lifestyle modifications to promote long-term health.
Techniques and Methods
