Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that specializes in the prevention, treatment, and management of movement disorders that may arise from different medical conditions or injuries. Physiotherapy works by using a range of physical interventions to restore, improve, or maintain physical function, mobility, and quality of life.

One of the main goals of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and improve the patient's ability to perform daily activities or return to sport. This is achieved through a combination of exercises, manual therapy, education, and advice. Physiotherapists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their individual needs.
