Reasons To See A Physio

In Physiotherapy, the therapist evaluates and treat mobility or physical function problems related to eg; injury, disability, disease or medical condition. Licensed physios are everywhere. They can be found in a range of healthcare settings like, private practices, rehab centers, hospitals, schools, home and fitness settings, home health, hospices, government agencies, occupational settings and research centres. A therapist helps take care of patients in all phases of healing, from evaluation to diagnosis through the treatment or restorative and preventive stages of recovery.
