A physiotherapist is a physiotherapy specialist who treats patients that have physical difficulties that have occurred due to illness, injury, disability or age. A complaint physiotherapy treats is pain caused by stiff muscles, joints or sports injuries. Pain is a symptom and not the core problem that needs addressing. Pain relief and pain management are handled through icing, and warm heat that helps muscles prepare for exercise to increase mobility. Through mobility exercises pain relief and pain management occur by increasing fitness level. Physiotherapy treats all ages including children, adults, the elderly population.
