Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession dedicated to enhancing, maintaining, or restoring physical mobility and function through the examination, diagnosis, and physical intervention.

Physiotherapy treatments include exercises to improve mobility and strength, joint manipulation and mobilization to reduce pain and stiffness, and various modalities like heat, ice, and electrical stimulation to treat pain.

These treatments are personalized to address specific conditions such as sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, chronic pain conditions like arthritis, neurological disorders such as stroke or Parkinson's disease, and issues related to aging.
