Physiotherapy
"Physiotherapy is a health care profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential:
• It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status
• It is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery
• The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core."
