Physiotherapy, made clear.
Physiotherapy is the science of restoring movement — helping people recover from injury, manage pain, rebuild strength after surgery or stroke, and stay active for life. Explore in-depth guides on the conditions physiotherapists treat every day, with exercises, videos and research to make sense of them.
What physiotherapy treats
Musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, arthritis, neurological conditions, respiratory illness, and age-related mobility loss.
How treatment works
A physiotherapist assesses movement, strength, and pain, then combines manual therapy, targeted exercise, education, and modalities like ultrasound or dry needling.
Why it matters
Physiotherapy restores independence, prevents surgery in many cases, and delivers lasting relief by treating the cause of dysfunction — not just the symptom.
