💥 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!
