What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is one of the primary care professions, which helps to promote, maintain, or restore health through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, patient education, physical intervention, rehabilitation, disease prevention, and health promotion. Physiotherapy works to treat sports injuries, neuromusculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory problems.

Physiotherapy is a whole-body approach to physical wellness, and our team believes patients should be active participants in their recovery – after all, it’s your body. The physiotherapy treatment is tailored to each patient and aims to improve the range of motion, mobility of the afflicted body part, strength, and endurance for daily routine activities without the intervention of drugs and surgery.
