Position Summary:

Physiotherapy takes a 'whole person' approach to health and wellbeing. This means that the person's general lifestyle as well as medical condition is taken into account.

Physiotherapists work with people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. They facilitate the maintenance of health for people of all ages, working with patients to manage pain and prevent disease. Through their work, physiotherapists facilitate recovery, enabling people to remain independent for as long as possible and so to stay at work.

At the core is the patient's involvement in their own therapy. This is achieved through education, awareness, empowerment and participation
