Goals and benefits

Physiotherapy: what it is and what it’s for

Physiotherapy is a branch of medicine practised with specific expertise by qualified physiotherapists.
It is a scientific profession aimed at rehabilitating individuals who have experienced various motor
conditions, enabling them to live their daily lives to the fullest and improving their approach to everyday
activities, including work, leisure, and sport.

The aim of physiotherapy is to treat and rehabilitate patients with congenital, musculoskeletal, or
neurological conditions, and to prevent such dysfunctions through personalised methods tailored to each
patient.

From the first symptom to therapy

Personalized physiotherapy program

1. Medical diagnosis

The physiotherapist begins by referring to the medical diagnosis, then conducts a case history (anamnesis) and collects data from the patient to understand the main issue and the factors limiting their ability to perform daily activities.

2. Medical history

After the diagnosis, the physiotherapist gathers detailed information about the patient’s health condition, symptoms, and functional limitations. This stage of listening and assessment is essential to identify the root cause of the problem and define the goals of the therapeutic program.

3. Treatment

The physiotherapy treatment is tailored to each patient, with progress constantly monitored. The intervention is based on scientific evidence and up-to-date techniques, aiming to reduce pain, restore functionality, and improve quality of life.
