Physiotherapy

1 Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle. It helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

2 Physios use their knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions. At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.

3They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease. (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy)
