Physiotherapy Services, or physical therapy, is a health profession that focuses on movement and maximizing an individual’s movement potential. It encompasses a broad range of techniques including manual therapy, exercise programs, and education about body mechanics. Physiotherapy is a holistic approach to healthcare that provides a wide variety of benefits.

Physical therapists are experts in identifying and alleviating pain, discomfort, and impairments of the musculoskeletal system – muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments – by conducting a physical evaluation to pinpoint the cause of the problem. Once this is accomplished, a treatment plan is then prepared.

Physiotherapists work with people of all ages and physical abilities to help them overcome illness, injury, and disease. The goal of physiotherapy is to restore a person’s optimal functional capacity. This may involve improving the ability to participate in activities, such as walking and moving, or it may include reducing pain and improving emotional well-being.

Physiotherapy is beneficial during major health crises, such as heart attack or stroke, and also with chronic diseases like arthritis or fibromyalgia. It is also valuable during pregnancy to manage musculoskeletal discomfort and prepare for childbirth. In addition, it can assist patients in managing their respiratory disorders or enhancing balance and mobility. Physiotherapy treatment modalities can include soft tissue techniques (massage), joint mobilization/manipulation, electrical stimulation (e-stim), iontophoresis, and wound care.
