One of the main aspects of physiotherapy involves looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on the individual factors of an injury.
Therefore, giving general advice about ways to improve your well-being – for example, by taking regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight for your height and build – is an important part of treatment.
A physiotherapist can also give you the specific advice that you can apply to everyday activities to look after yourself and reduce your risk of pain or injury and change yourlifestyle.
