Physiotherapy!

Physiotherapy is generally described as a treatment method commonly used in preventing injury, promoting health, and maximising physical strength. However, when you take a closer look, you'll notice that it's actually a kind of umbrella term under which physical therapy practices and treatments fall. In this article, we explore the common types of physiotherapy and the conditions they treat. The image that comes to mind for most people when you mention physiotherapists is someone running onto a sports pitch to treat an injuried player. This however is a very small part of who and what physiotherapists are. Physiotherapy is used in many settings and fields of medicine. In today’s climate of austerity, in order to justify our efficacy and cost effectiveness we have had to undertake research within our profession and ask questions of ourselves as to the effectiveness and role of our profession.
