Role of Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy will help the body's natural fluids to return to the circulatory system, which reduces swelling. Getting treatment as soon as possible can reduce your risk of infections and problems. Additionally, physiotherapy can improve mobility, enhance strength, and provide patients with education on self-care strategies to manage their condition effectively. Regular physiotherapy sessions can lead to a better quality of life and increased overall well-being.
