Physiotherapist constitute a very special occupational group. From a baby's first steps to an adult relearning to walk after a stroke and the return of a professional athlete to competition, it liberates people from many different fields of life. Physiotherapists are interested in preserving and increasing the quality of life, preventing disease and the predisposing conditions, and treating current disorders and their rehabilitation.
