PHYSICAL THERAPY
Improve quality of life for Patients
Physical Therapists empower patients by education, involvement in their own care plan, and participation in treatment. Physical therapists use science-backed techniques to help patients to prevent physical injury, improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore or maintain function. These services treat the whole patient and integrate general medicine and nursing with sports medicine, which is also one of the main operating fields of UniBa for years.
