About Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy, is a Health Care profession concerned with the assessment, maintenance and restoration of the physical function and performance of the body. It is a distinct form of care which can be performed either in isolation or in conjunction with other types of medical management. Used in conjunction with certain medical or surgical techniques, physiotherapy can complement these techniques to help provide a speedy and complication-free return to normal activity.
How can Physiotherapy help:
Physiotherapy can help individuals by:
Identifying the problem area and treating this directly:
Physiotherapists treat a wide variety of injuries and problems using many different techniques. In many cases, the causes of pain and dysfunction are obvious, but sometimes things are not so black and white, especially when symptoms are inconsistent or difficult to describe. Physiotherapists can perform a wide range of tests to help locate the source of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment strategy.
Identifying the Cuases and Predisposing Factors:
Physiotherapists are not only interested in the problem, but factors which contribute to the problem. Identifying factors such as poor posture, improper techniques, muscle imbalances, poor work practices or other bad habits allow interventions to be made to correct these factors. This will reduce the risk of the same thing happening again in the future.
Provding Rhabilitation following occupational or Sport Injuries:
Physiotherapists can help you get back to work or sport more quickly by providing rehabilitation program and advice on how to prevent a recurrence of the injury.

and / or post-operative programs to help get you moving again, making sure your length of stay in hospital is not unexpectedly extended.
