About Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a health care profession that is 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. The academic program of physiotherapy aims at developing healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, for their medical problems or other health-felated conditions, illnesses, or injuries that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities as well as they would like in their daily lives. They are trained to use the individual's history and physical examination to arrive at a diagnosis and establish a management plan.
