Physiotherapy Explained

Physiotherapy is a primary, drug-free health care profession.   Often working within health care teams or independently, physiotherapists assist people to restore, maintain, and maximize their strength, function, movement, and overall well-being.  Physiotherapists have in-depth knowledge of how the body works, and how the body moves.  They are considered experts in the field of non-surgical treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal problems and injuries, as well as their prevention.   They use specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat various conditions, injuries, and disabilities.
