Physio

Physical therapy deals with diseases or injuries that limit the ability to move and the functional activities of daily living. It promotes, maintains or restores health through physical examination, diagnosis and disease management. Physical therapy management commonly includes prescribing or assisting with specific exercises, manual therapy and manipulation, mechanical devices such as traction, education, electrophysical modalities including heat, cold, electricity, sound waves, radiation, assistive devices, prosthetics, orthotics, and other interventions. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent mobility loss before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles, providing services to individuals and populations to develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement and functional capacity across the lifespan.
