What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is an evidence-based health care profession focusing on evaluating, restoring, and maintaining physical function. It combines medical knowledge with a natural, non-invasive, drug-free approach.

Physiotherapists focus first and foremost on resolving pain, stabilising an injury or condition and preventing it from getting worse. Then we focus on restoring strength, movement and function as much as possible. Our ultimate goal is to enable our patients to manage their own physical well-being independently.

The sooner the treatment of an injury or condition begins the better. Early intervention prevents a condition from becoming chronic, keeps muscle and other soft tissue structures from weakening through disuse, speeds healing and, above all, increases the chances of full recovery.
