What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession which sees human movement and function as central to the health and well-being of individuals. Physiotherapists identify and maximise movement potential through health promotion, preventive healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation. Most people throughout their lifetime will encounter a disruption to their normal movement and function through injury, age, disease, profession or hobbies which will require treatment and rehabilitation. 

A physiotherapist has a wide variety of skills available in order to assess, diagnose and treat movement and function disorders using a combination of therapies proven effective through evidence based practice. Your physiotherapist maintains and progresses their skill base via continued professional development including new techniques and constant reflection upon the application of techniques. As part of providing professional conduct at all times the therapist treats each patient and condition with strict confidentiality.
