Physiotherapy is a profession in the heath care field, concerned with human function, movement and maximising potential.
Typically individuals consult a physiotherapist for management of medical problems or other health related conditions that cause pain, limit ability to move or function optimally.
Physiotherapists use manual techniques to promote, maintain and restore physical wellbeing.
Physiotherapy may involve the treatment of various conditions, in a wide scope of settings. Examples include: musculoskeletal and sports injuries, neurological conditions such as stroke or head injury, paediatrics, medical and surgical procedures, chest care in conditions such as pneumonia or chronic bronchitis, stress incontinence and geriatric (elderly) care.
Physiotherapists may work in hospitals, sports injury clinics, GP surgeries, schools and gyms.
If you have specific health conditions, the chiropractor will take them into account when deciding on your treatment. These help the chiropractor to evaluate any special needs you may have and to ensure your safety and comfort during treatment. These include:
- Whether you have signs of or diagnosed arthritis
- Any suspected or recent fractures, bone breaks or trauma
- Disorders of the circulation
- Whether you are, or have recently been, pregnant
- Your body size
- Your age
- The medication that you are taking
- Previous treatment, including operations
