    Physiotherapy involves promoting health, preventing and treating physical disabilities from pain, disease, or injury through physical measures rather than medical or surgical interventions. Diseases can impair body structure/function and lead to abnormalities. Physiotherapy is important for treatment of many conditions like fractures, soft tissue injuries, pulmonary issues, and pre- and post-surgery. It employs exercises, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy, modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation, and other techniques to rehabilitate patients and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As diseases and treatment needs evolve, physiotherapists must constantly update their skills and knowledge.
