Default What is the difference between Physical Therapy and Physiotherapy???

Hi, I never heard of heard of physiotherapy until reading this forum. What exactly is it, and how is it different from physical therapy?

Is one necessarily better than the other depending on one's symptoms with PCS and/or upper cervical injuries ?

Thanks for any input you may have !

The difference is the country you live in. Canada and England call it physiotherapy. U S calls it Physical Therapy. Look for the Location below the screen name and you will usually notice a location that may use different terminology. For example, in England, they call the Emergency Room, A & E for Accident and Emergency.
