Wonderful article detailing the actual essence of physiotherapy lies in its role as a healer, not just a trainer. Physiotherapy really helps to heal a patient after accidents to regain their strength, and should be considered more than just an exercise.

another stereotype people always misunderstood about physiotherapy and consider it as pattern of exercise but that’s not true we cannot compare physiotherapist to yoga or gym trainer. Physiotherapy is science behind every muscle,bone,ligament,tendon and joints.
