🧠 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧠

❌ Myth: “Once the pain is gone, I don’t need physiotherapy anymore.”
✅ Fact: Pain relief is just the beginning — not the end! ✅

Physiotherapy doesn’t just treat symptoms — it targets the cause. Continuing your rehab helps rebuild strength, restore full function, and prevent the pain from coming back.

Stick with the plan, even when you’re feeling better — your future self will thank you! 💪

💥 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💥

❌ Myth: “Physiotherapy is just massage and exercise.”
✅ Fact: Physiotherapy is so much more! 🙌

Physios are movement and health professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions — from sports injuries and chronic pain to neurological, respiratory, paediatrics, and pelvic health issues.

💡 Think: rehabilitation, prevention, education, hands-on techniques, and personalised care — all rolled into one profession!
