The pandemic has seen the visibility of physiotherapy increase substantially with various degrees of press coverage from the BBC and The Times to featured pieces in magazines. Physio’s have been highlighted as some of the key people in the management of people recovering from Covid – 19, right from your respiratory physiotherapist who might provide breathing techniques and positioning to the musculoskeletal physio who might provide advice for return to exercise.
