PHYSIOTHERAPY
What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy (or physical therapy) is an important health care service that specializes in recovery and rehabilitation, helping people of all ages to re-establish and sustain movement, function and muscle strength, as well as general health. Physiotherapy is provided by our skilled and university educated experts who focus on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of various disabilities, movement conditions, and injuries.
