What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession, which views human movement as central to the health and well being of individuals. Physiotherapists identify and maximise movement potential through health promotion, preventive healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation. The core skills used by physiotherapists include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of electrophysical modalities. Fundamental to the physiotherapist’s approach, however, is an appreciation of the psychological, cultural and social factors which influence their patient's own active role in helping themselves.
