What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession focused on helping individuals restore, maintain, and improve their physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It uses evidence-based techniques such as exercise therapy, manual therapy, education, and advice to treat a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary systems. Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages to manage pain, recover from injuries or surgeries, improve movement and strength, and prevent future health issues. Whether recovering from a sports injury, managing a chronic condition, or improving general mobility, physiotherapy plays a key role in promoting a healthier, more active lifestyle.
Is Physiotherapy the same as massage?
Physiotherapy is not the same as massage, although both can involve hands-on techniques and aim to improve physical well-being. Massage therapy primarily focuses on relieving muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and improving circulation through soft tissue manipulation. In contrast, physiotherapy is a broader medical discipline that addresses a wide range of physical conditions and injuries using a combination of treatments including therapeutic exercises, joint mobilization, posture correction, and education. While massage may be one of the tools a physiotherapist uses as part of a treatment plan, physiotherapy involves clinical assessment, diagnosis, and long-term rehabilitation strategies tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
