💡 Myth vs. Fact: The Truth About Physiotherapy 💡

❌ Myth: "You should only see a physiotherapist when you're in pain."
Many people believe they need to wait until they experience pain before visiting a physiotherapist. In reality, physiotherapy can be used to prevent injuries and make your body stronger and more resilient.

✅ Fact: Physiotherapy doesn’t just help with injuries—it can also prevent pain and improve overall mobility. It’s great for enhancing sports performance, recovering after surgery, and managing chronic conditions.

A strong, healthy body starts with the right care! 💪🏼✨
