Physiotherapy helps in restoring movement and function in cases where someone has suffered an injury, has a disease, or a disorder. Additionally, physiotherapy prevents the risk of injuries and diseases in the future.
When is physiotherapy used?
Physiotherapy aids all age groups with various health conditions. It treats issues such as:
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 stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), or Parkinson's. Heart and circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart problem. Lungs and breathing – such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis.
Physiotherapy improves your physical activity and keeps you away from injuries during their course.
