Physiotherapy is a type of health care profession that focuses on the physical rehabilitation and treatment of individuals who have suffered from an injury or illness. Physiotherapists use a number of approaches to assist patients in recovering from disease, injury, or disability. These techniques include exercise, • Manual Therapy: This form of physiotherapy employs manual manipulation and mobilisation of joints and soft tissues to relieve pain and increase range of motion. Additionally, it may incorporate massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, and other therapeutic activities. • • • Electrotherapy: Electrical stimulation is used in this sort of physiotherapy to alleviate pain and improve muscular strength and coordination. Ultrasound therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), and interferential current (IFC) are typical forms of electrotherapy. • Aquatic Therapy: This type of physiotherapy is used in a pool setting for patients who need assistance with mobility due to arthritis or other medical conditions that limit movement on land.

Some countries have their own version of the word physiotherapist, such as kinesiologist, but they are all part of the same profession.

They can help people at any stage of life, when movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, diseases, disorders, conditions or environmental factors.
