Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a form of health care that prevents, identifies, corrects and alleviates acute or prolonged movement dysfunction. The primary objective of physiotherapy is to promote optimum health and function. It is one of the oldest healthcare professions, and an important part of total health care.

Physiotherapists focus first and foremost on resolving pain, stabilising an injury or condition and keeping it from getting worse. Then they focus on restoring strength, movement and function as much as possible. The ultimate goal of a physiotherapy treatment is to enable patients to manage their own physical well-being independently.
