Physiotherapists are highly trained practitioners whose assessment and treatments are strongly evidence based. Ongoing research means the profession is continually evolving. It is a requirement from the Australian Physiotherapy Association that physiotherapists continually upgrade their knowledge and skills via regular Personal Development lectures or courses. Physiotherapists specialise in in the assessment and management of many musculo-skeletal disorders. Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy modalities, education and advice. The ultimate aim of treatment is to maximise the potential for pain free movement and restore function.
