Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy, or physical therapy, is a healthcare discipline focused on enhancing, restoring, and maintaining physical function and mobility for individuals with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities.
Physiotherapists employ a comprehensive approach, beginning with a thorough assessment to diagnose conditions and develop personalised treatment plans. Treatment may include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and various modalities such as heat therapy or electrical stimulation. Physiotherapists also provide education and advice to empower patients in managing their conditions independently. Central to the field is rehabilitation after surgeries or injuries, with the ultimate goal of improving patients' overall quality of life. Physiotherapy is applicable across diverse health issues and collaborates with other healthcare professionals to offer holistic care.
Our treatments include:
-
