Physiotherapy is a primary care, autonomous, client-focused health profession dedicated to improving quality of life by:
- Promoting optimal mobility/strength, physical activity and overall health and wellness
- Preventing disease, injury, and disability
- Managing acute and chronic conditions, activity limitations, and
participation restrictions - Improving and maintaining optimal functional independence and
physical performance - Rehabilitating injury and the effects of disease or disability with
therapeutic exercise programs and other interventions, and - Educating and planning maintenance and support programs to
