Welcome to Fyziopedia, an online source of information about physiotherapy and various health problems which affect the musculoskeletal system of the human body. We write and post articles about health conditions, where we try to explain to our readers the causes of the health problems, how to prevent them, and their possible solutions. We also work on expanding our exercise database. You can help yourself at home by choosing the correct exercise for your problem, to get a quick relief from pain. And in case you wonder about the healthcare system in other countries all around the world, you can simply take a look through our Global Index Database (still under construction). And we also want to invite you to contribute to expand the database by writing down informations about the healthcare system in your own country, so that everybody can benefit from it.
