What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping to restore the body’s normal movement following recent injury or in chronic conditions, for pain relief, healing and rehabilitation. Prevention of recurrence is an important part of physiotherapy and self management and advice is included as part of the treatment.
