	Physical therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is a health profession concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and disability through physical means.
		Various therapeutic physiotherapy modalities are available, including exercise prescription (strength, motor control, stretching and endurance), manual techniques, soft tissue massage, and various forms of so-called "electrophysical agents" (such as cryotherapy, heat therapy and electrotherapy).
		In Australia, an undergraduate physiotherapy degree is typically undertaken over a four-year period, with the early components being predominantly theoretical and with an increasingly clinical focus throughout the latter stages.

		Chest physiotherapy is also used for patients with pneumonia or patients with cystic fibrosis.
		Although chest physiotherapy has only been shown to work in patients with cystic fibrosis, it is felt to be useful in patients in the intensive care unit who are not very mobile after heart surgery or for other reasons when they are unable to keep all areas of the lung open.

	Physiotherapy in Australia (Struber): The Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
		Physiotherapy is defined by the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT) [1] as “services to people and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan”.
		Yet physiotherapy appears to lack a clear identity with the public and health professionals, who demonstrate limited awareness and understanding of the scope of the profession’s role and have difficulty differentiating it from alternate practitioners [18, 19, 20, 21].
		Physiotherapy is a predominantly female profession, and yet, while males account for only 23% of practitioners overall, they account for 36% of the more prestigious and highly paid managers and private/sports practitioners, and only 13% of hospital/ rehabilitation workers; adding a further socio-cultural dimension to this dichotomy [4].

		As May and others have pointed out, it is agreed that satisfaction is a multidimensional concept, it is a reflection of quality in process and outcomes of care; and many factors, including things such as information received, contribute to a perception of satisfaction from the consumer’s perspective (Mahon 1996, May 2001).
		This study represents a new trend in physiotherapy research, in which more specific exercise strategies targeting muscle endurance, co-ordination, or stabilisation and strength are being investigated (eg Chok et al 1999).
		It is also difficult to know how easy it would be to apply the intervention in routine physiotherapy practice, given that the precise regime was not described and contraction of multifidus needed ultrasound confirmation in the trial.
