about physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a science-based profession, which takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing. At its core, patients are empowered to take active approaches to their health. Physiotherapy aims to treat the root cause of your problem. If you have a medical condition that needs management, physiotherapists are experts at helping you treat and manage symptoms. Common management strategies can include exercise, education, advice, manual therapy, use of medical technologies, and much more.
Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability. They help treatment problems including pain, weakness, instability, swelling/inflammation, stiffness, lack of confidence, and much more. The goal is to help you be happy and independent.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
