    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

    Re: Physiotherapist Vs Sports Therapist

    Sports therapy is kind of like the MSK side of physio with massage and a bit of sports science. Injury diagnosis - Joint assesments/special tests etc, joint mobs, pnf, big emphasis on rehab techniques, various massage techniques, exercise testing and prescription, nutrition..... I guess we go into much more depth of just one area of physio.
