Physiotherapists
Physiotherapists are professionals that provide treatment to physical disorders or movement disorders that are caused by ageing, injury or illnesses. These professionals provide preventive healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation to people suffering from any type of physical disorder.
Physiotherapists may use a variety of techniques in treating the physical problems of people. These techniques are used to improve mobility. They work by stretching and strengthening the muscles and joints of the body. Some common techniques used in physiotherapy include hydrotherapy, breathing and relaxation techniques and massage.
Physiotherapy has several areas on which physiotherapists may specialise in. These areas include occupational health and safety, babies and young children, women’s health, chest conditions, aged care, sports medicine, spinal injuries and other problems of the joints, problems of the nervous system and education and research. Some physiotherapists may also focus on administration.
Physiotherapists can be found working in clinics, hospitals, research laboratories, universities and many more. They may also hold private practice.
