Physiotherapy: Community Health - Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy (physical therapy) aims to restore proper functioning to the body or, in the case of permanent disease or injury, to reduce the impact of any dysfunction.
Contrary to popular belief, physiotherapists aren’t limited to the rehabilitation of sports injuries and back pain. As well as musculoskeletal injuries, physiotherapists can also manage:
•Neurological conditions, such as stroke
•Multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries
•Cardiothoracic conditions like emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis.
•Physiotherapists can help a person to recover from surgery. Treatment options include a wide range of manual therapies, exercise programs, electrotherapy techniques and airway clearance techniques, tailored to your specific condition. Physiotherapists can also show you how to use, and where to get, equipment aids.
Your physiotherapist may work alone, or with other health care providers, to offer a multifaceted approach to your rehabilitation. Physiotherapists work in public hospitals, private practices, community health centres, rehabilitation centres, sporting clubs, fitness centres, schools and in the workplace.
