Physiotheraphy

Physiotherapy is an applied science that treats movement disorders caused by ageing, disease and joint injury.
A physiotherapist assesses and implements treatment by combining exercise, massage, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy and heat treatment to help patient restore their movement.
The core skills of physiotherapy include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises and the application of electrotherapeutic modalities such as heat, cold and electrical stimulation.
Physiotherapists require formal education and training before they are allowed to practice their physiotherapy skills. They work independently and exercise their judgment and make decisions regarding their patients. They are regulated by a professional body and need to adhere to an ethical code of practice.
Combined with several years of working experience, a physiotherapist can further his studies in a Master’s Degree overseas.
