When I was a Physiotherapy Student, in days of yore! We used to wear course sweatshirts with a similar logo to that written below:

I’m a leg pullin’ back crackin’ neck stretchin’ ankle twistin’
arm bendin’ joint mobilisin’ posture buggin’ MOTIVATIN’
PHYSIOTHERAPIST

This is obviously a flippant over- simplification of what we as physiotherapists actually do, but I feel it gives a genuine flavour of how we work... energetic, enthusiastic, sense of humour, combined with excellent clinical knowledge and professionalism.

You will find Physiotherapists working with all ages and in most walks of life.  Their role generally involves getting people moving one way or another, getting people breathing, getting the blood flowing, improving balance & co-ordination, managing/resolving pain and returning people to their work, home or sport environment.
