Physiotherapists are key members of healthcare teams. They help patients to improve or regain their mobility by exercise. The patient’s reduced mobility may have been caused by a congenital illness, an accident, or as a result of an operation, etc. Physiotherapists work a lot with their hands, but they also use gymnastic devices. They also conduct exercises in the water for the patients, which helps to reduce the stress on the patient’s joints and body in general. They also use equipment to provide heat, light and electrical treatments. They work in hospitals, convalescent homes, special clinics or in their own practice.
