Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on restoring and improving physical function and mobility in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists employ a variety of techniques and exercises to alleviate pain, improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, and promote overall physical well-being.
They work with patients of all ages and conditions, developing customized treatment plans to address specific needs and goals. Rehabilitation, on the other hand, refers to the process of restoring a person’s functional abilities, independence, and quality of life after an injury, surgery, or illness. It often involves a multidisciplinary approach, with physiotherapists playing a key role in providing rehabilitative care.
Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and patient education, physiotherapy and rehabilitation help individuals regain function, reduce disability, and enhance their overall quality of life.
