Physiotherapy is a diverse profession that is involved in nearly all areas of health care. From the Intensive Care Unit to Private Physiotherapy Clinics, physiotherapists get involved whenever there is a problem managing an injury, disease or condition.

The aim of physiotherapy is to promote good health, manage painful injuries and improve your ability to perform day-to-day tasks and sporting activities as easily and comfortably as possible.

In 2007, the current definition of Physiotherapy was agreed as:

'Any activity undertaken by an individual physiotherapist that may be situated within the four pillars of physiotherapy practice where the individual is educated, trained and competent to perform that activity. Such activities should be linked to existing or emerging occupational and practice frameworks acknowledged by the profession and be support by a body of evidence.'

The original Four Pillars of Physiotherapy are:

Massage
Exercise
Electrotherapy
Kindred Forms of Treatment
