About Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy means a physiotherapeutic system of medicine which includes examination, diagnosis, treatment, advice, and instructions to any person preparatory to or for the purpose of or in connection with movement dysfunction, bodily malfunction, physical disorder, disability, healing and pain resulting from trauma and disease, as well as physical and mental conditions. It uses physical agents including exercises, mobilisation, manipulation, mechanical and electrotherapy, activities, and devices for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and promotion of health.
Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who play a significant role in health promotion and the physiotherapeutic management of disorders, diseases, and trauma. They combine their in-depth knowledge of the human body and its functioning with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat physical dysfunctions caused by disorders, illness, injury, trauma, or disabilities.
Physiotherapists plan and administer physiotherapy or rehabilitation treatments independently and also work as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. The minimum educational requirement to become a physiotherapist is a baccalaureate degree in Physiotherapy.
