PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are interrelated fields that aim to aid individuals in their recovery from disease, accident, or handicap and enhance their health and well-being. Physiotherapy aims to maximise movement and functional abilities during a person’s life. Through promotion, protection, treatment or intervention, habilitation, and rehabilitation, physiotherapy aims to find and improve people’s quality of life and their ability to move. Rehabilitation, on the other hand, is a process that seeks to enable people with disabilities or health conditions to achieve optimal physical, mental, social, and vocational functioning. It includes all aspects of one’s mental, emotional, physical, and social health. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are closely related and complementary fields with a shared vision of enhancing human functioning and well-being. Physiotherapy is one of the core components of rehabilitation services that can help people with various health conditions or impairments recover their abilities or adapt to their limitations. It can also help people prevent or delay the onset or progression of health problems or disabilities.
