Physiotherapy

What? When? and Who?

When?

Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the:

• bones, joints and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries
• brain or nervous system – such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson's disease
• heart and circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart attack
• lungs and breathing – such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis

Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.

Who?

Physiotherapy is provided by specially trained and regulated practitioners called physiotherapists. Physiotherapists often work as part of a multidisciplinary team in various areas of medicine and settings.
Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing on the individual aspects of an injury or illness.
