Physiotherapists, also known as physical therapists, work with patients to help them manage pain, balance, mobility, and motor function. They help people affected by injury, illness, or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice. Physiotherapists develop customized programs designed to restore as much as possible the functional ability and movement of their patients. They are trained to help patients at all stages of life, from infants to old age, whose function and movement are impacted by disease, health conditions, injury, environmental factors, aging, disorders, and weight issues. Physiotherapists use a variety of methods to achieve this, including having the patient do certain exercises. They take a holistic approach that involves the patient directly in their own care. Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissue, the brain or nervous system, the heart and circulation, and the lungs and breathing. Physiotherapists can give general advice about things that can affect your daily lives, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent injuries. Some of the most common reasons people see a physiotherapist include illness, sudden injury, managing long-term medical conditions, and preparing for childbirth or a sporting event. Physiotherapy is a degree-based healthcare profession, and physiotherapists use their knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions associated with different systems of the body.
