Physiotherapists treat patients with physical difficulties resulting from illness, injury, disability or aging. They treat a variety of people from all ages, including children and the elderly, stroke patients and those with sports injuries.
They have a significant role in post-operative care of cardiac, orthopedic and other surgical procedures.
Physiotherapists work with patients to identify and improve their movement and function. They help promote their patients' health and well-being, and assist the rehabilitation process by developing and restoring body systems, in particular the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. They devise and review treatment programs, comprising manual therapy, movement, therapeutic exercise and the application of technological equipment (e.g., ultrasound).
Physiotherapists also provide advice on how to avoid injury.

Physiotherapists provide services needed for a wide variety of conditions such as injuries, fractures, orthopedic and joint-related conditions, strokes, post surgical rehabilitation, intensive care or terminal illness, abdominal conditions, obstetrics and gynecology, chest conditions, posture and movement, neurological conditions and mental illness.
Treatment involves encouraging exercise and movement by the use of manual and mechanical techniques such as therapeutic movement, exercise therapy, massage, manipulation and electro- and/or hydro-therapy.

Typical work activities include:

Working with patients to identify the physical problem
Developing and reviewing treatment programs
Assisting patients with joint and spinal problems, especially following surgery
Helping patient’s rehabilitation following accidents, injury and strokes
Supervising physiotherapy assistants
Writing patient case notes and reports
Educating and advising patients and their families about how to prevent and/or improve conditions
Keeping up to date with new techniques and technologies available for treating patients
Liaising with other healthcare personnel to supply and receive relevant information about the background and progress of patients, as well as referring patients who require other specific medical attention.

Physiotherapists often see patients for several consultations over a period of weeks or months.
