There's really not too much difference between physical therapy and physiotherapy except the way the therapist approaches and performs the therapy.

Physical therapists incorporate more exercise-based health approaches during the therapy session

Like a physical therapist, a physiotherapist works on the treatment of injury, disease, and disorders through the use of physical methods.

Neurological physiotherapy helps heal problems within the nervous system.

There's really not much difference between a physical therapist and a physiotherapist except in the way they perform the therapy.

Physiotherapy uses a more of a hands on and manual therapy approach to rehabilitation, while Physical Therapy uses a more exercise based approach to the patients rehabilitation.
