Physiotherapy uses hands on techniques and exercise to help restore movement and function to anyone affected by an injury, disability or health condition. It is a therapy that facilitates healing and that can help you manage every day activities, and those more challenging, with greater ability and confidence.
Physiotherapy aims to assess, diagnose and treat your symptoms based on your story. Your physiotherapist may use mobilisation, manipulation, massage, acupuncture, electrotherapy or exercise to effect a change – singularly or often in combination.
Benefits of Physiotherapy include decreased pain, improved mobility, increased strength and co-ordination.
