​

Physiotherapy is the science based on the natural means used by the specialized health professional and accredited physiotherapist for therapeutic purposes.

​

Generally, physiotherapy is helpful for people, regardless of age, who experience pain or difficulties with movement and function which may have been caused by injury, poor posture and environmental factors. Physiotherapy can also contribute in the maintenance of a good physical condition of any person who is mentally and physically exhausted by the demanding rhythms of modern life and the lack of exercise.

 

The goal of a physiotherapist is to improve a person's quality of life by using a variety of treatments that relieve pain and restore function.

Physiotherapy treats illnesses or injuries that limit a person's ability to move and perform functional activities in daily life.

 

Physiotherapists use the patient’s history and conduct a physical examination to make a specialized diagnosis and develop a personalized rehabilitation program.

During the treatment period continual assessment in every session ensures that the treatment is optimised according to the patient’s progress. Additionally, an important therapeutic factor that contributes to the treatment outcome is the development of a healthy patient-therapist relationship which pertains that the physiotherapist devotes considerable time to the patient, has strong listening and communication skills, treats the patient with respect, provides clear explanations of the treatment and allows the patient to participate in decisions about his treatment.

​
