Physiotherapy is concerned with injury elimination, rehabilitation, and promoting health/fitness. It’s the method that specifically focuses on the movements that encompass people to maintain, restore, and enhance their physical strength, motion, function, and comprehensive well-being by uncovering the underlying physical issues. 

Physiotherapy is performed by healthcare professionals known as physiotherapists. The physiotherapist is an expert in determining the root cause of any injury, and with their years of experience tries to treat physical problems connected with different parts of the body. Often, they are equipped in treating neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. 

Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using evidence-based kinesiology, electrotherapy, shockwave modality, exercise prescription, joint mobilization and health education, treats conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, cartilage damage, arthritis, gait disorders and physical impairments typically of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological and endocrinological origins. 

Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s physical functions through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation and patient education. It is practiced by physical therapists.

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle.
