Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy, often referred to as physiotherapy, is a specialized healthcare profession dedicated to optimizing movement and function while preventing and treating physical impairments, injuries, or disabilities. Physical therapists, who are highly trained professionals, play a pivotal role in assessing, diagnosing, and treating individuals of all ages. The primary focus of physical therapy is to enhance the quality of life by promoting mobility, reducing pain, and restoring functionality. One of the key aspects of physical therapy is the comprehensive assessment of a patient's musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. This involves evaluating joint range of motion, muscle strength, posture, and overall movement patterns. Based on the assessment findings, physical therapists develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and other modalities. Therapeutic exercise is a cornerstone of physical therapy interventions, encompassing a variety of activities aimed at improving strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. These exercises are tailored to address specific impairments or functional limitations, whether stemming from orthopaedic conditions, neurological disorders, or other health issues. Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations and soft tissue manipulation, are often employed to enhance joint mobility, reduce pain, and improve tissue extensibility.
