What is Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation?

Physiotherapy, sometimes referred to as Physical Therapy, is a speciality area of medicine that works with patients to improve and regain their physical function and mobility. Physiotherapists use a variety of methods, exercises, and manual Therapies that are customized for the patient's specific requirements. Improving general physical health is the main goal, whether this is done by treating particular injuries, controlling long-term illnesses, or encouraging general well-being. On the other hand, the term "rehabilitation" is more general and refers to a range of medical procedures meant to help people regain their capacity for independent living. Physiotherapy is frequently used in conjunction with other interdisciplinary fields including Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy. Programs for rehabilitation are intended to assist in the healing process following surgery, disease, or trauma, promoting flexibility and fortitude in the face of medical difficulties. In tandem, physiotherapy and rehabilitation provide all-encompassing, individualized care by enabling people to reclaim and sustain their ideal level of physical health and well-being.
