Physiotherapist

What is a physiotherapist?

A physiotherapist, also called a physical therapist, is a rehabilitation professional with a specialized training in providing exercise-based care for injuries. Treatment is often optimal when the physiotherapist works in conjunction with a medical team or a medical doctor, or at the behest of a medical doctor. They often take the information received, and they formulate a plan along with information received from an examination.

Often times a physiotherapist’s treatment will be very similar to that of a chiropractor or a physiotherapist: they’ll do hands-on treatments, exercises, and other types of treatments. When you compare physiotherapists and chiropractors, those who are very passionate about the field, and who keep up with the literature and the research, will often provide a very similar treatment. However, they may approach the problem from a slightly different angle.
