Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a health-care profession that helps people improve their health, function, and mobility.  Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to help patients:

Exercise
          Stretching, strengthening, and other exercises can help restore movement and flexibility.

Manual therapy
          Massage and other manual techniques can help relieve pain.

Physical stimuli
          Heat, cold, electrical currents, and ultrasound can help treat a variety of conditions.

Education
          Physiotherapists teach patients how to improve their health and what they can do on their own.

Physiotherapy can help with:
          Recovering from injuries, surgeries, and long-term health problems.
          Reducing the risk of injury or illness.
          Making daily activities easier, like walking or climbing stairs.

Physiotherapists can work in clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, or rehabilitation facilities, or they may visit patients in their homes.  They often work with doctors to provide feedback on a patient's progress.
