Physiotherapy
Also known as physical therapy, it is a medical practice that is designed to remediate impairments. Through a series of different treatment programmes, each of them is specialized to promote and enhance movement and function of the body system. Most of the time, they include exercise programmes that involve stretching and strengthening of muscles and body systems. These exercises are able to promote better strength and enhance mobility. This is especially important for those facing impairment caused by injuries. Through physiotherapy, it allows the patient to enjoy better quality of life.
