Physiotherapy

A physiotherapist rehabilitates patients by helping them improve their physical movement. They treat people who are injured or disabled in order to recover full function and movement. It's both cure and prevention focused, and requires in-depth anatomical and musculoskeletal knowledge. Therapy usually covers:

• Exercise
• Massage
• Stretching
• Medication etc.

Physiotherapists are required to maintain close physical contact with their patients; they must not shy away from such closeness, or be unwilling to demonstrate exercise methodology. Compassion, empathy, friendliness, good communication and patience are a must.
