What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a health service for assisting, preventing and diagnosing disease and disability through physical exercises. Physiotherapists are experienced in providing services to their patients in different areas such as assisting them to overcome movement disorders, disability, and other bodily malfunctions. Physiotherapy also helps the patients to recover from all conditions of pain acquired through accident or injury, reduces pain and stiffness and increase mobility.
 
Our Physiotherapists areable to understand their patient’s needs and plan with them the most appropriate treatment for maximum results. They assess patients and plan and deliver treatment and education programmes in partnership with patients and their families.
