Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy, or physical therapy, is a specialised healthcare discipline focused on improving and restoring physical function and mobility. It involves a range of techniques and exercises to address various musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory conditions. Physiotherapists use their expertise to assess, diagnose, and develop personalised treatment plans to alleviate pain, enhance movement, and promote overall well-being. The goal is to optimise physical performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery, often through exercises, manual therapy, education, and tailored rehabilitation programs. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life after injuries, surgeries, or health challenges.
Frequently Asked Question
When should I go see a physiotherapist?
Think about getting physiotherapy if you have an injury or chronic pain that affects how you function every day. A doctor may refer you to physiotherapy after surgery such as a hip replacement, or an event such as a heart attack or stroke.
If you are planning to use health insurance to help cover the cost of physiotherapy, remember to visit your insurance company's website to ensure the physiotherapist is covered. If the physiotherapist is not covered by that insurance company you will not be able to use your benefits and will need to pay the full cost of treatment.
