Chief Physiotherapist

A physical therapist plays a crucial role in helping patients recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions. The primary responsibility of a physical therapist is to assess patients, develop, and deliver individualized physical therapy treatment programs.

The goal of these programs is to help patients achieve maximum recovery and improve their overall quality of life. A physical therapist's work involves assessing patients' medical history, conducting thorough examinations, and creating customized treatment plans.
