A Day in the Life of a Physiotherapist

Physiotherapy

okay a lot of you out there didn't know what physiotherapy is and a physiotherapist do. many of you people think and still think that physiotherapist is a masseur. We are not solely a masseur. I repeat we are not solely a masseur. Hahahahaha.. Kami bukan tukang urut semata-mata ya.

Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease. To put it in a simple words, we help people most in rehabilitation.

We are like doctors but just for physical injuries. We dont do operations or surgeries and all that thing. Even the syllabus is quite the same with what doctors learn. What makes it different is that we stop on the superficial layer of our body only, we didn't go as deep as doctors. Sampai tahap cell-cell tu semua. Kita belajar sampai muscle je.
