WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Physiotherapy is a primary, independent, client-centred health care profession focused on enhancing quality of life by:
-
Promoting optimal mobility, physical activity, and overall health and wellness
-
Preventing disease, injury, and disability
-
Managing acute and chronic conditions, limitations in activity, and participation restrictions
-
Improving and maintaining functional independence and physical performance
-
Rehabilitating injuries and the effects of disease or disability through therapeutic exercise and other treatments
-
Educating clients and creating maintenance and support plans to prevent recurrence, re-injury, or functional decline
Rooted in movement sciences, physiotherapy works to improve or restore the function of various body systems. The profession is dedicated to health, lifestyle, and overall quality of life, employing a comprehensive approach with a wide range of physical and physiological interventions.
Primary Physiotherapy Functions Defined
Physiotherapists utilize diagnostic and assessment procedures and tools in order to develop and implement preventative and therapeutic courses of intervention. They apply a collaborative and reasoned approach to help clients achieve their health goals, in particular focusing on musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory and multi-systems.
Physiotherapists analyze the impact of injury, disease, disorders or lifestyle on movement and function. PT’s unique contribution to health care is to promote, restore and prolong physical independence by enhancing a client’s functional capacity through appropriate and evidence-based physiotherapy. Our clients are encouraged to assume responsibility for their health and participate in team approaches to health service delivery.
