Physiotherapy

What is Physiotherapy?

  • Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession with a science foundation.
  • The range of work is very broad and varied and involves working with people to promote their own health and well being.
  • Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury, illness or by developmental or other disability.
  • Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health settings such as orthopaedics and sports injury, intensive care, mental illness, stroke recovery, occupational health, and care of the elderly.

 

A formal definition

A more formal definition of physiotherapy comes from the 2002 CSP Curriculum Framework:
  • "Physiotherapy uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status."
  • "Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery."
  • "The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core."
