Physiotherapists evaluate adults and children in order to treat and rehabilitate them to prevent reoccurring injuries or disorders. They use physical techniques to enhance recovery or functionality.
The physiotherapist strives to better the physical, psychological and social well-being of a patient in order to obtain the highest function of independence in the community.
