My name is Ana, and I have been studying in the physiotherapy program for 3 years. I did this glossary for students who want to learn more specific term in physiotherapy.
The topic of this glossary is physiotherapy, which is to guide every patient during their rehabilitation. This glossary can help real-world problems, because some terms can be very practiced when someone is hurt. Also, it could be helpful because is you hurt yourself, and you have a schedule with a physiotherapist, you will not be lost with terms.
In this glossary, ten terms have their own definition, example, and all this to help to understand them. I chose these terms by a website about physiotherapy. I also find the definition on another website.
You can do exercises, quiz, or just read all the terms that I define.
A physiotherapist applies taping to a patient after an injury.
"taping", verb
The act of fastening adhesive tape on muscles to stabilize them.
Example: Protection may be applied by plaster cast TAPING bandaging splints slings crutches.

Clinical
adjective
Relating to the observation and treatment of actual patients rather than theoretical or laboratory studies.
Example: None of these writers produced research evidence to back up their claims, basing them exclusively on CLINICAL practice and theoretical projections. CLINICAL practice is invaluable for developing ideas and hypotheses but dangerous when being cited to make conclusive statements without prior testing with general population samples.

Exercises
Noun
Activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness.
Example: Relaxation EXERCISES are designed to help you learn how to reduce muscular tension and to become generally more aware of tension in your body. By learning to produce muscular tension through tensing EXERCISES and then releasing this tension, you will gradually find it is possible to release the physical tension from everyday stress in the same way, letting go.
