Physiotherapy is the science concerned with maintaining and restoring an individual’s functional capacity and mobility throughout all stages of life, from infancy to old age. More specifically, physiotherapy focuses on the prevention, improvement, and rehabilitation of pathological, congenital, and acquired conditions, as well as traumatic injuries that affect the musculoskeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, and other systems of the human body.
A physiotherapist is qualified to:
-
Conduct a thorough physical examination and assessment using the tools and methods of physiotherapeutic evaluation.
-
Develop clinical reasoning regarding the patient’s condition, explain the physiology of the pathology, and organize the rehabilitation program under the responsibility of the attending physician.
-
Provide guidance within the scope of their expertise.
-
Apply therapeutic protocols based on clinical guidelines.
-
Assess the outcomes of the therapy and adjust the treatment plan when necessary, for the benefit of the patient and cost-effectiveness in healthcare.
-
Suggest ways, methods, and interventions for preventing the current or other future conditions through patient self-care.
-
Collaborate effectively with physicians and other healthcare professionals as part of interdisciplinary teams when needed.
