Physiotherapy is the science of movement. It is a medical profession that offers a variety of treatments to treat diseases, deformities and injuries, including massage, electrotherapy, heat therapy, exercise, teaching and counselling.
When should I consult a physiotherapist?
This is a very common, but important, question. If you are injured or have chronic pain that interferes with your daily life, you need to see a good physiotherapist. Physiotherapy may also be useful after surgery, such as knee replacement or stroke.
