What do physiotherapists do?
Physiotherapists help people regain movement and function when they’re affected by injury, illness, or disability. They use evidence-based physical techniques such as exercises, manual therapy, and functional training to treat a wide range of conditions. Physiotherapists also educate patients on prevention and promote overall fitness and wellness. At hospitals, they assist post-surgical recovery, manage chronic conditions, and help reduce pain. Their work plays a key role in rehabilitation after orthopedic, neurological, cardiac, or pulmonary issues, supporting faster and safer recovery while improving the patient’s quality of life.
