What is Physiotherapy?

Also known as physical therapists, physiotherapists have a detailed understanding of how the body works and are specially educated and trained to improve movement and function, while relieving pain. Physiotherapists promote good health by encouraging their clients or patients to improve and increase control over their own lives.

Physiotherapy includes rehabilitation, as well as prevention of injury, and promotion of health and fitness. Physiotherapists often work in teams with other health professionals to help meet an individual's health care needs.
