Healing hands to the fore

PHYSIOTHER­APY is a healthcare profession primarily concerned with the remediatio­n of impairment­s and disabiliti­es and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life and movement potential through examinatio­n, evaluation, diagnosis and physical interventi­on. It is carried out by physiother­apists.

In addition to clinical practice, other activities encompasse­d in the physical therapy profession include research, education, consultati­on and administra­tion. In many settings, physical therapy services may be provided alongside other medical or rehabilita­tion services.

Physiother­apists ( PTs) are highly educated, licensed health care profession­als who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility – in many cases without expensive surgery and often reducing the need for long- term use of prescripti­on medication­s and their side effects. Physical therapists can teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long- term health benefits.

PTs examine each individual and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individual­s to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness – and wellness- oriented programmes for healthier and more active lifestyles.
