Physiotherapy is a comprehensive set of treatment methods for various diseases using physical factors. These include electrical current, magnetic radiation, heat, air, light, and others.
Physiotherapy is an integral part of the rehabilitation period after severe injuries.
In the physiotherapy service, medical care is provided through the use of rehabilitative and preventive measures, therapeutic physical training, and physical exercises. Physiotherapy procedures are generally painless, do not cause allergic reactions, and have no side effects.
