Physiotherapy is a branch of health sciences focused on the prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. Physiotherapists apply a variety of techniques and therapeutic interventions to help patients restore mobility, reduce pain and improve their overall quality of life.
Physiotherapy Studies Include:
- Core health sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, and kinesiology
- Therapeutic techniques including kinesiotherapy, massage, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy and ultrasound treatment
- Clinical training, where students gain hands-on experience in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and private clinics, working with patients who suffer from injuries, orthopedic and neurological conditions
Physiotherapists work in a wide range of settings such as hospitals, sports centers, rehabilitation facilities and private practices. They may also specialize in areas like sports physiotherapy or pediatric physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy is not only about treatment - it also plays a crucial role in the prevention of injuries and disorders through personalized exercise programs and ergonomic interventions. Physiotherapists are vital in helping patients regain mobility and independence, contributing significantly to their overall health and well-being.
