Physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, is a healthcare profession focused on optimizing physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals with a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiovascular conditions. Physical therapists use various techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and patient education to help individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, improve movement and balance, and prevent future impairments. They work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans and promote long-term health and functionality. Physical therapy plays a vital role in rehabilitation and promoting optimal physical performance.
