Physiotherapy can be goal specific, so not only helping you to achieve normal function. But also in helping you to achieve your goals as part of a healthy lifestyle.
- Physiotherapy uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore your physical, psychological and social well-being.
- Physiotherapy is science-based, and evidence based and commits to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the latest evidence, which underpins and informs best practice and service delivery.
- Physiotherapists apply independent clinical judgement and reasoning, as well as informed interpretation to enable the effect treatment of various conditions and injuries.
Physiotherapy identifies and maximises movement potential.
Physiotherapy includes interacting and working together with clients, families or carers, in order to access rehabilitation potential as well as establishing agreed realistic goals and objectives, while applying Physiotherapy knowledge and skills.
Physiotherapists view the body and mind as a whole, to help reach maximal potential through promoting good health, treatment and rehabilitation. And consideration to not just one problem area, but a series of overlapping components.
