Mission Statement

Welcome to the Physiotherapy Department Patient Education Website!

This website aims to provide you with the current and accurate health information and advice on keeping fit by being physically active. It also answers some frequently asked questions, such as why should I be physically active? Am I too old for exercise? How do I get started? Should I do exercise if I have back pain? And so on.

These pages will also provide you with an understanding of the importance of remaining physically active for keeping fit and free from developing chronic diseases. We have included tips on exercise equipment, certain exercises that may be helpful to you, and postural advice.

The exercises included in this website have been scientifically proven to be helpful to certain medical conditions. Even then, the information contained here is not meant to be a substitute for medical attention. We are unable to answer any questions you might have. So, before you start any exercise program, please consult your physiotherapist or physician.
