What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with the assessment, maintenance, and restoration of the physical function and performance of the body. The ultimate goal of physiotherapy is to restore the maximum functional independence of each individual patient. To achieve this goal specific treatments such as physical exercise, thermal
treatment, ultrasound, and massage are utilised.
Benefits of Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can make a significant difference in an individual's ability to live an active and healthy lifestyle. The benefits of physiotherapy can include a reduction in pain, improved joint mobility, and increased strength and coordination. Many people can benefit from physiotherapy whether living with a chronic condition, recovering from a work injury or suffering after that weekend game. For many seniors, disabled or chronically ill people, physiotherapy is the key to restoring and maintaining a level of physical function that permits independent living.
The cost of physiotherapy may be easily reduced by re-imbursement through
1. Your health insurer such as VHI, Aviva, GloHealth or Laya. You may need to check your policy for terms and conditions as cover can vary depending on your health insurance plan.
2. Tax relief and depending on your level of taxation, you may receive a rebate of up to 42%.
