WHY PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Physiotherapy is the physical treatment of the body, using hands-on (manual therapy), electrotherapy, or specific tailored exercise therapy. Physiotherapy assists with the following:
• The reduction and control of pain, inflammation and swelling
• Acceleration of soft tissue healing
• The restoration of movement and strength in joints, muscles and the neural system
• Accurate diagnosis of the condition in order to reduce the risk of further exacerbation or injury
• Empowering patients with the specific knowledge of managing their condition
Ultimately, physiotherapy adopts a holistic approach, taking the whole musculoskeletal system and the needs of the individual into account.
