WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY?

​

Physiotherapy is a treatment to restore, maintain, and make the most of your mobility, function, and well-being. Physiotherapy helps through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness.

 

A customized physiotherapy program can help you return to your prior level of function, and encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well being. Primary care doctors often refer patients to physiotherapy at the first sign of a problem, since it is considered a conservative approach to managing problem.
