Physiotherapists assess, diagnose and treat patients with movement disorders or disabilities, including those with temporary or long-term injuries and musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. Physiotherapists use a range of skills, including education and advice, movement or exercise prescription and manual therapy with the aim of assisting people to achieve their goals for recovery, activity, participation and quality of life.

They are active in the prevention of illness and injury and in the promotion of health, and are also involved in clinical research, movement rehabilitation, ergonomics and the management of healthcare organizations.
