Physiotherapy is addressed, regardless of age, to everyone who faces pain, movement or functional problems, which may have been caused by factors such as: injuries, various diseases, poor posture, age, environmental factors, etc.

The answer, of course, is that the meaning of the words “Physiotherapy” and “Physiotherapy” are identical, simply the word “Physiotherapy” is used for the sake of brevity and derived from the English physiotherapy. Physiotherapy, as can be seen from the word itself (natural + treatment), is the name given to the science that helps to treat and restore problems, with natural means.

Each case is unique and is treated as such. After an extensive check and evaluation, the physical therapist determines the cause of the problem. Based on these conclusions, he decides on the appropriate individualized treatment regimen, the duration of which as well as the number of required sessions may vary.

The correct diagnosis by the doctor and the correct assessment by the physical therapist are the most basic elements for the best treatment. Physiotherapy will speed up tissue healing processes so the patient can return to their daily activities faster. The correct treatment will also reduce the possibility of recurrence of the pathology.

People often wonder when they should see a physical therapist. There are many situations for which a visit to a physical therapist is beneficial but also necessary.

Situations such as:

• in case of injury,
• if the musculoskeletal pain persists for days (usually more than three),
