Aaron Glossary

5 physio terms

Welcome to the Aaron glossary. I am 27 years old and I have been a physiotherapist for 3 years now .I created this to increase my comprehension of physio related concepts. In the real world, my glossary can help solve misunderstanding between a patient and a therapist that can lead to improper technique during exercises or confusion of a recovery plan. To find my words, I looked at my text and found words related to physiotherapist.
