What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a profession focused on improving the body’s physical health. It includes rehabilitation, recovery from injuries, treating body pains, and promoting fitness, among others. Physiotherapy, as the name describes, is a medical treatment that helps people improve or restore physical strength, mobility, and overall functioning.

Physiotherapists are trained professionals with a thorough understanding of the human

body. They assess a person’s physical condition completely and chalk out a treatment plan that delivers the best results. Some of the treatments provided by physiotherapists include:

∙ Electrotherapy – to help muscular stimulation

∙ Heat therapy – to soothe stiff muscles and joints

∙ ROM exercises – the range of motion exercises help with recovery from injuries and surgeries

∙ Soft tissue massages – to relax the muscles and soothe inflammation

∙ Kinesio tapes – to stabilize muscles and joints during a treatment

∙ Manual therapy to alleviate stress and stiffness

A physiotherapist is experienced and capable of handling all the above treatments and more. Specialized courses for physiotherapy, usually spanning about 4 years, provide an in-depth understanding of the human body and its functioning. Anatomy, biology, and the study of movements are especially important skills for a physiotherapist.

The main goal of undergoing physiotherapy is to heal the body back to its normal state. This, in turn, leads to improved quality of life and the comfort of performing physical activities unhindered. In Australia, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist.

Though it is a common practice for physiotherapists to refer to your regular doctor. This helps them get a better understanding of your condition and develop the best treatment plan for you.
