Improving your quality of life
Physiotherapists help people by improving their physical function and/or pain whether it's from an injury or a medical condition. We are all about patient-centredness i.e. being respectful, empathic and listening to the patient and treating them as a person and not a mere condition/injury.
Physios can work in many different areas ranging from:
aged care
hospitals
private clinics/gyms/hydrotherapy facilities
paediatrics
rehabilitation facilities
Physiotherapy treatments can range from:
hands on therapy (massage, manipulations, mobilisations, stretches)
electrotherapy (ultrasound, TENS)
corrective exercises
pulmonary rehab (secretion clearance/improving air entry)
dry needling
taping
gait aid prescription and education
