Physiotherapists

Treat and prevent problems caused by pain, illness, disability, ageing and prolonged inactivity

Physiotherapy is a profession that promotes wellness, mobility and independent function in individuals and the population. Here you will find highly trained physiotherapists that treat and prevent problems caused by pain, illness, disability, ageing, prolonged inactivity and injury caused by accidents, sports and work-related. In Zambia, the most common conditions managed by physiotherapists include painful conditions such as arthritis, neck and back pain, incontinence, trauma (accidents), stroke, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries, heart problems as well as lung problems. Their treatment methods include exercises, electrotherapy, manual therapy, education and advice.

Physiotherapy is a drug-free health care practice that improves and maintains functional independence and physical performance, prevents and manages pain, treats physical impairments as well as disabilities. Physiotherapists provide assessments, treatment and education for many health problems to ensure a quality lifestyle. They can recommend the best way to treat problems with your muscles, bones and joints, circulatory, respiratory or nervous system and can also advise you on ways to prevent potential health problems.

Physiotherapy makes a difference in an individual’s ability to live an active and healthy lifestyle. For the elderly, disabled or chronically ill people, physiotherapy is the key to restoring and maintaining a level of physical function that allows independent living. It is one way to successfully push physical limitations to secure the freedom to function. Everyone can benefit from physiotherapy whether you are living with a chronic illness or recovering from an injury. It also offers a range of specialised services of benefit to patients with heart and lung disease, traumatic, amputations, arthritic joints, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord and nerve injury, cancer and pre and post-surgical needs.
