Description

Physiotherapy is a healthcare discipline focused on restoring, maintaining, and improving physical function, mobility, and overall quality of life. It uses evidence-based techniques to treat injury, pain, disability, and movement disorders caused by trauma, surgery, chronic conditions, neurological disorders, or poor posture and lifestyle habits. A qualified physiotherapist assesses a patient’s condition through detailed evaluation of movement patterns, muscle strength, joint mobility, posture, balance, and functional limitations. Based on this clinical assessment, an individualized treatment plan is created to relieve pain, accelerate healing, and prevent future injury. Common physiotherapy interventions include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy and joint mobilization, soft-tissue techniques, electrotherapy modalities such as ultrasound and TENS, heat and cold therapy, dry needling, taping, and posture or ergonomic correction. Rehabilitation programs may also involve gait training, sports-injury recovery, post-surgical rehabilitation, and respiratory therapy. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing conditions such as back and neck pain, arthritis, stroke recovery, ligament or tendon injuries, fractures, frozen shoulder, sciatica, and workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders. It emphasizes long-term recovery through patient education, home exercise programs, and lifestyle modification.
