Physiotherapy science and skills
Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession which views movement as central to health and well being. Physiotherapists aim to identify and make the most of movement ability by health promotion, preventive advice, treatment and rehabilitation. Core skills used by chartered physiotherapists include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of electrophysical modalities.
Physiotherapists believe it is of vital importance to take note of psychological, cultural and social factors which influence their clients. They try and bring the patients into an active role to help make the best of independence and function.
Physiotherapy is an autonomous profession (practitioners make their own clinical judgements and treatment choices) and practice reflection.
