Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession with a science foundation. A physiotherapist's work involves promoting a patient's own health and well being and helps restore their movement and function to as near normal as possible when this has been affected by injury, illness or by developmental or other disability.
Physiotherapists'
work covers health promotion, preventative healthcare, treatment and
rehabilitation, with people of all ages. The core skills of a physiotherapist
include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of electro
physical modalities.
