Physiotherapy is a broad ranging profession as Ann described above.
Most people know physiotherapy with respect to helping musculoskeletal pain - ie pain that comes from muscles, joints, discs, ligaments and discs. There are many different types of treatment method or styles.
If you are looking for an active approach, to be shown how to relieve the pain with specific and effective exercises and learn how to stop it from coming back..... I would recommend the McKenzie Method of Physiotherapy. There are 2 levels of expertise - the advanced level (Dip MDT ) or the basic level of training (Cred MDT)
GOOGLE McKenzie Method to find out more.
