What is physiotherapy?

The primary focus of physiotherapy is the restoration of function. Physiotherapists assess and diagnose the problem, then plan and administer treatment programs that aim to restore function or minimise dysfunction after disease or injury. A combination of manual and exercise therapies will be used to achieve this. Advice on posture and ergonomics is always provided aiming for the prevention of further injury or dysfunction.

At PEAK Physiotherapy all our physiotherapists are chartered and state registered. This guarantees that their qualification is properly recognised, they are governed by a professional code of conduct and they are covered by professional liability insurance. For more information we recommend the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy site.
