Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function who assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries and conditions.
Physiotherapists can help patients to recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness and increase mobility and function. Physiotherapists are also involved in treatment and prevention of disease and disability.
Exercise Physiologists work within the physiotherapy team as exercise specialists working with patients in the management of some acute conditions and chronic disease including rehabilitation and prehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery.
