Diploma in Physiotherapy in Malaysia

A health care profession that deals with finding out and maximizing people’s movement potential to help them improve the quality of life is physiotherapy. Some of the aspects it deals with are prevention, diagnosis and intervention, in addition to promotion of optimal movement and rehabilitation. This is done with the aim of ensuring the social, emotional, physical and psychological well-being of people.

Assessing and diagnosing movement potential: Besides patients and clients, physical therapists also interact with care givers, families, the community, and other professionals from the field of health care. One of the key tasks of physical therapists is to assess and diagnose movement potential. Based on this, they develop goals that will suit a patient. The age group of the people that a physical therapist deals with can vary from newborns to the elderly.

Some of the issues they look into are related to medical conditions, injuries or illnesses that limit a person’s ability to move or carry out regular activities. Physical therapists base their understanding of a patient’s condition on the basis of the history of the person and the results of a physical examination. The diagnosis will then help the professionals create a plan to manage the condition.

Physiotherapy courses that are wellness and fitness oriented will have to be developed to help patients in this condition. Through this, physical therapists will be able to help people retain and restore functional movement, which is one of the factors that determine the health of a person. Another area that physical therapists look into is pain reduction and management. Some of the physiological systems that they will have to deal with are respiratory, cardiovascular, musculo-skeletal and neuro-muscular.
