What is "physiotherapy"?

Physiotherapy is a medical treatment that uses exercises, hands-on therapy, and specialized equipment to help restore movement and function to people affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists, specialists in this field, work with patients of all ages to improve movement, relieve pain, and promote overall fitness and well-being. They develop personalized treatment plans based on individual needs, aiming to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. Physiotherapy is commonly used to recover after surgery, manage chronic conditions like arthritis, or recover from sports injuries. It plays a crucial role in improving quality of life and independence for many individuals.
