Education
In addition to hands-on treatment, physiotherapists are valuable sources of education and advice. They can provide expert insights into exercise, diet, and posture, offering tips that can be applied to daily activities.

Chiro and Physio are similar in the sense that they both treat joints and musculoskeletal conditions to improve mobility and strength. However, chiropractors can provide spinal adjustments to treat issues related to the spine in addition to utilizing manual therapy and physical therapy modalities to treat the underlying issues.Chiro and Physio are similar in the sense that they both treat joints and musculoskeletal conditions to improve mobility and strength.
