Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a specialist branch of medicine that helps remidiate impairments in movement, and promote patients' quality of life through physical intervention to improve mobility and function.

Contrary to the above image, physiotherapy is not simply about bending people hither and thither. You will also be employed in research, consultation and administration. It is practiced alongside other medical techniques.
Physiotherapy is normally referred to as Kinesiology in the USA and Canada
