Physiotherapy uses effects of physical modalities like heat, ice sound, light waves and exercises to produce therapeutic effects. It aims to improve a person's ability to move and perform functional activities. Physiotherapy is a necessary component in patient care and is heavily relied on by doctors and other health professionals. A Physiotherapy visit includes a thorough examination, diagnosis, prognosis and physical intervention.
