What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a form of hands-on therapy used to assist in rapid recovery and rehabilitation from all forms of injury. Whether an injury occurs from playing sport, working in the garden or too much time sitting at a desk, physiotherapy can help relieve your pain and allow your body to recover more effectively.

Leap Health’s Director and Senior Physiotherapist Stew Williamson recently chatted with Penny Terry on the Health Speak podcast. Chances are you’ve heard of physiotherapy, but we doubt you’ve heard it explained quite like this. Physiotherapist Stewart Williamson tells Penny Terry that part of his job is sort of like fixing rusty gates. Stewart works with people who come and see him for any number of reasons; from back problems to foot problems, even for ear problems… and he also works with elite athletes who usually have no “problems” at all. We think it’s a fantastic insight into the scope of our practice, which is a bit broader than many people may think!
