Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a healthcare discipline focused on enhancing physical function and mobility through a variety of techniques, including movement, exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice. It addresses a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary systems.

Common conditions treated include sports injuries, arthritis, stroke rehabilitation, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and respiratory issues such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Physiotherapists assess and design individualized treatment plans aimed at restoring mobility, improving strength, alleviating pain, and preventing further injuries.

Therapeutic modalities such as heat, cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation are used to facilitate healing. Physiotherapy also plays a critical role in rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries like knee or hip replacements, helping patients regain function and independence.
