Physiotherapy as described by “World Physiotherapy” is a health care profession concerned with human function and movement and maximizing physical potential.

Some of us may have badly needed some physiotherapy at some point in our lives, especially how sprains and broken bones can occur so easily.

It is never too late to seek help for any sort of body pain before the pain manifests further!
