A qualified physiotherapist plays a vital role in helping individuals overcome physical challenges resulting from injury, illness, or disability. Their responsibilities include assessing patients' physical conditions, developing tailored treatment plans, and applying therapeutic techniques such as mobilization and exercise therapy to restore movement and function. They assist patients—especially trauma cases—in regaining mobility, often helping them learn to walk again. Physiotherapists also educate patients, families, and communities on injury prevention and healthy living, refer patients to other medical professionals when needed, and organize rehabilitation and fitness programs. Their work is essential in promoting recovery, improving quality of life, and preventing further physical issues.
