What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy (PT) is a predominantly active physiotherapeutic treatment method aimed at improving movement, restoring function, and positively influencing pain. The focus is on individually tailored exercises for strengthening, mobilization, coordination, and stabilization.

The treatment is based on current scientific findings and takes into account both physical and everyday stresses.
