Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that treats physical injuries and disabilities with a combination of massage, exercise and electrotherapy. It was established more than 100 years ago alongside medicine and surgery as a means of boosting the body's natural ability to heal itself. The modern Chartered Physiotherapist uses a wide range of skills including manipulation, mobilisation and self-help advice. Often we use sophisticated electrical apparatus. It’s all designed to help in the relief of pain and promote your recovery.
