Physiotherapy has, and will continue to, constantly evolve over time. As we learn more about the human body and evidence-based practices, the way in which we perform these treatments continues to change.
Technological advancements in the field have mainly extended to the way treatments are planned, delivered, and how their effectiveness is evaluated. There are also things like virtual reality, wearable technology, robotic assisted therapy and AI that are not only expanding what physiotherapy is capable of, but also making it more accessible.
While it’s always good to keep an eye on emerging technologies, such as AI, it’s so important to remember that these are simply tools that add to the Hands on Therapy that has always been practiced, and not replacements. These are merely tools that help physiotherapists to do their jobs more even more effectively.
