Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions, but many people aren't sure when to seek help. Here are five signs that you might benefit from physiotherapy. ## 1. Persistent Pain If you've been experiencing pain for more than a few weeks, especially in your back, neck, or joints, a physiotherapist can help identify the cause and develop a treatment plan. ## 2. Reduced Mobility Difficulty moving, stiffness, or reduced range of motion in any part of your body can be addressed through targeted physiotherapy exercises and treatments. ## 3. Post-Surgery Recovery After surgery, physiotherapy is often essential for regaining strength, mobility, and function. Don't wait - early intervention leads to better outcomes. ## 4. Sports Injuries Whether you're a professional athlete or weekend warrior, physiotherapy can help you recover from injuries and prevent future ones through proper technique and strengthening. ## 5. Balance Issues If you're experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems, vestibular physiotherapy can help improve your stability and reduce fall risk.
