Physiotherapy is a science-based profession that uses natural elements (movement, light, water, electricity etc) and aims in the development, maintenance and restoration of movement and functionality in order to achieve improvement of the patient’s quality of life. Physiotherapy is a licensed health profession and implemented solely by certified practitioners. A physiotherapist has excellent knowledge over anatomy, physiology, movement and the biomechanics of the human body. He/ she can assess the cause of pain or movement dysfunction and initiate therapeutic intervention to treat a wide range of symptoms.
