Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a structured, drug-free treatment that restores movement, builds strength and relieves pain by combining hands-on techniques, guided exercise and supporting therapies. It helps a very wide range of people: those recovering from orthopaedic surgery or a fracture, patients regaining movement after a stroke or other neurological event, and anyone living with long-standing back, neck or joint pain. A physical medicine and rehabilitation physician assesses the problem and designs the plan, which qualified physiotherapists then deliver and adjust as the patient improves. Many people travel abroad for rehabilitation to reach dedicated centres, intensive daily programmes and modern equipment that may not be available close to home, and to recover with focused support over a concentrated period.
