What is Physiotherapy

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a medical science dedicated to restoring, maintaining, and optimizing human movement and functional ability. It helps manage pain, injury, disability, and movement disorders through scientifically proven physical methods rather than medication or surgery.

Physiotherapy focuses on treating the root cause of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms. Through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, physiotherapy supports long-term recovery and improved quality of life.

Nerve-related pain and weakness

Physiotherapy plays an essential role in modern healthcare by helping individuals recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and prevent future problems. It improves mobility, strength, balance, and coordination while reducing pain and physical limitations.
