What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a health discipline that aims to prevent, assess and treat disorders of movement and physical function. It relies on approaches based on therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, physical modalities (such as heat, cold, electrotherapy) and advice on ergonomics and posture.

Its role is to help patients regain, maintain or improve their mobility, using a variety of treatments including manual techniques, exercises, electrotherapy, ultrasound therapy and thermotherapy (application of ice or heat).
