Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, encompasses a wide range of practices aimed at promoting health, preventing injuries, and rehabilitating individuals with various physical conditions. While there are many specialized areas within physiotherapy, three main areas are:

1. Orthopedic Physiotherapy: This area focuses on musculoskeletal conditions, which involve the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic physiotherapists treat a variety of issues, including sports injuries, fractures, joint replacements, sprains, strains, and post-surgical rehabilitation. They develop exercise programs, Carlton Physiotherapy manual therapies, and other interventions to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance function.

2. Neurological Physiotherapy: Neurological physiotherapy deals with disorders and injuries of the nervous system, such as those caused by stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and more. Physiotherapists in this area work to improve mobility, coordination, balance, and overall quality of life for individuals with neurological conditions. They use techniques that promote neuroplasticity and help patients regain lost functions.
