What is physiotherapy anyway?
Physiotherapists are professionals who study at university to be qualified to deal with a wide range of neuro-musculo-skeletal (involving nerves, muscles and bones) conditions.
A physiotherapist uses his or her skills to treat, educate and empower patients by helping to relieve pain, speed up recovery of sports injuries, doing rehabilitation, aiding the recovery of patients (including babies) with chest infections and sinus problems, and sometimes do home visits.
