What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the process of restoring movement and function to individuals, focusing on both physical recovery and overall well-being.

It involves a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment and clinical reasoning to determine the most appropriate interventions and treatments for each patient. This approach considers not only physical factors but also psychological, emotional, and social aspects of a person's health and recovery.

The primary goal of a physiotherapist is to achieve functional outcomes by identifying and addressing any existing or potential impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, environmental influences, and abilities or disabilities. Veterinary physiotherapy applies the same evidence-based principles from human physiotherapy to improve the health and mobility of animals.
