Physiotherapy is multi-dimensional and can treat a tremendous variety of conditions. Primary focus of this treatment is on the restoration and rehabilitation of the circulatory and musculo skeletal systems; it can, however be used to treat conditions as diverse as sports injuries, arthritis and respiratory problems.
Muscular Aches
Back ache is the most common muscular pain, which affects a high percentage of people. Physiotherapy can reduce pain, ease stiffness, and encourage blood flow to the muscles.
Sports Injuries
Aches and pains are common, when following a frantic and physically demanding period of exertion. Sports players often have physiotherapy treatment to ease aches and stiffness as well as increase flexibility. In case of injury physiotherapy can facilitate the healing and rehabilitation process.
Arthritis
Aged people are more likely to develop arthritis which affects the joints and can reduce mobility. Physiotherapy helps to ease the joints stiffness, increase blood flow to the muscles and enhance the range of physical movement. Physiotherapy also helps in building strength. The exercises are often gentle for aged people who are usually more fragile.
Respiratory Problems

Physiotherapy can also control pain and improve posture which will usually make it easier to breathe. Patients suffering from other conditions including asthma, pneumonia and lung cancer may also benefit from physiotherapy.
