What is Physiotherapy?
You’ve heard about it before but never really figured out what it was, let us explain.
Physiotherapy is a treatment without medicines given through physical methods like scientific exercises, manual manipulation, dry needling, taping, thermal therapy and with the use of advanced machines. The treatment is given for people affected by pain, injuries, diseases, movement disorders or disabilities. Physiotherapy treatment has no side effects as it’s an external treatment.
Physiotherapists have in-depth knowledge of how the human body works, as we have a thorough medical foundation. We have specialised hands-on clinical skills to relieve pain, restore people’s movements and empower their ability to work and perform their daily activities.
