Physiotherapy
The Department of Physiotherapy gives people the opportunity to regain control of their lives. Many patients who have suffered for years with chronic pain and impaired functionality are able to find dramatic hope and recovery.
The focus of our physiotherapy program is to improve the individual’s quality of life by alleviating pain and increasing his tolerance for activity.
At IBP it is part of a student’s educational program and helps with posture, balance and safe independent mobility.
