Physiotherapy is the practice of restoring or maintaining an individual’s physical function and mobility. Physiotherapists are primary healthcare professionals who work in collaboration with a patient and their family to help them achieve their goals. Physiotherapists apply their knowledge of human anatomy and physiology to assess, diagnose and treat the symptoms of injuries, conditions and disabilities.
Treatment from a Physiotherapist may be preventative or rehabilitative in nature. Physiotherapy treatments include exercise therapy, manual therapy, joint mobilizations, electrotherapeutic modalities, education and more.
