Physiotherapy, derived from the Greek words “phýsis,” meaning nature, and “therapéia,” meaning treatment, is a branch of clinical medicine focused on preserving and restoring a person’s maximum freedom of movement and the functional capabilities of the human body. This field stands as one of the oldest in the realm of medical treatment and prevention, offering a diverse range of therapeutic methods.
