A Closer Look at Physiotherapy
How it helps, who it supports, and why it matters for long-term health.
1. What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a science‑based approach to improving movement, reducing pain, and supporting long‑term wellbeing. It helps people recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and move with confidence in day‑to‑day life.
