Physical Therapy provides treatment to patients in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, disease or environmental factors.

The Physiotherapist works with an individual's history and a physical examination to diagnose and establish a plan of wellbeing. Physical Therapy complements the body's own healing process to assist with improving muscular strength and movement while at the same time providing the patient with specific techniques to maintain this improved muscle strength.

Physical Therapy has many specialties including cardiopulmonary, geriatrics, neurologic, orthopaedic and paediatrics, to name some of the more common areas.

Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation. This encompasses physical, psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing.
