What is physiotherapy?

The science of movements is known as physiotherapy. And the individuals who master this science are known as physiotherapists. Physiotherapists are experts who help in the restoration of movement in an individual after an injury, illness or when loss of motion due to chronic pain. In the health care department, ‘Physiotherapy’ and ‘physical therapy’ mean the same things. Physiotherapy includes rehabilitation, promoting health and fitness, and prevention of injuries. Physiotherapists work in close relationships with other health care professionals to aid in a faster recovery and to meet the needs of the health of the patients.

Problems treated by Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapists have comprehensive knowledge about the human body and undergo extensive training to pinpoint the root cause of the injury. They are highly qualified with a master’s degree and have adequate knowledge about human anatomy. They also have expertise in treating the injury. In case of any surgical procedures like hip replacement, your doctor is likely to refer you to a physiotherapist. Still, for general issues, you do not require a doctor’s referral to visit a physiotherapist.
