Physiotherapy is the use of evidence-based kinesiology, health education and exercise prescriptions that originated around 460 BC with Hippocrates and Galen being amongst the first practitioners.
A common worldwide misconception is that Physiotherapy is a medical aid that involves athletes with musculoskeletal injuries, but this could not be further from the truth.
Physiotherapy can be used to treat all people affected by acute and chronic injuries, illnesses and disabilities.
Cardiac patients and cystic fibrosis patients benefit greatly from manual therapy to clear excess secretion from the lungs, but physiotherapy can benefit a plethora of body systems: neurological, integumentary, geriatric and orthopaedic conditions.
We encourage everyone to stay healthy!
