Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy is an allied health profession aimed at treating injuries and conditions which have negative consequences for movement, balance, coordination, and respiration. Also known as physical therapists or physios, these health professionals use evidence-based exercise, healing massage, and more to help reduce and manage the symptoms of neurological, neuroskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions.
