Physiotherapy
My physiotherapists are such patient people. They pull, prod and poke me in the never ending quest to get my right leg working. They put up with a stubborn, rude and often far-too-lazy patient.
Here is the place I can say to them - THANKS!!
For all the physcoterrorists of James Cook University Hospital.........
Physiotherapists help and treat people of all ages with physical problems caused by illness, accident or ageing.
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession which sees human movement as central to the health and well-being of individuals. Physiotherapists identify and maximise movement potential through health promotion, preventive healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation.
The core skills used by physiotherapists include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of electro-physical modalities. Physiotherapists also have an appreciation of psychological, cultural and social factors which influence their clients.
