What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. Physio aims to maintain health for people of all ages, helping to resolve and manage pain and prevent disease. It is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle, previous medical history and plans for the future. At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment. You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with any injury no matter how big or small.
