meaning of physiotherapy?

Answer 1

Physical therapy (or physiotherapy*) is the provision of services to people and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. It includes the provision of services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by the process of ageing or that of injury or disease. The method of physical therapy sees full and functional movement as at the heart of what it means to be healthy.

Some of the conditions that physical therapists manage include:

back and neck pain
spinal and joint conditions, such as arthritis
biomechanical problems and muscular control
problems affecting children, such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida
heart and lung conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia
sport-related injuries
stress incontinence
neurological conditions, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis

Answer 2

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential. Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health settings such as intensive care, mental illness, stroke recovery, occupational health, and care of the elderly. Physiotherapy is certainly far more than fixing musculoskeletal sports injuries although that is perhaps the most common perception of the profession.
