Physiotherapy activities

NACE v2.1 Code: R86.95

About physiotherapy activities

NACE code 86.95 covers physiotherapy activities, an essential component of the healthcare industry. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of physical impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities. This industry is vital in helping individuals maintain, restore, and improve their physical well-being, mobility, and quality of life, contributing significantly to the overall health and productivity of the population.

Production process

Physiotherapy activities involve the use of various techniques and methods to assess, diagnose, and treat physical conditions. Physiotherapists employ a range of manual therapies, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and exercise therapy, to improve muscle function, joint range of motion, and overall physical performance. They also utilize specialized equipment, including treadmills, stationary bikes, and resistance training devices, to facilitate rehabilitation and strengthen the body.

Production inputs

The physiotherapy industry relies on a range of inputs, including highly trained and skilled physiotherapists, physical therapy assistants, and other healthcare professionals. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment, such as therapeutic devices, mobility aids, and diagnostic tools, as well as consumable supplies like bandages, tapes, and therapeutic gels. Physiotherapy activities also depend on the availability of dedicated treatment facilities, such as clinics, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers.

Production outputs

The primary output of the physiotherapy industry is the provision of physical therapy services to individuals in need of rehabilitation, recovery, or maintenance of physical function. These services can benefit patients across a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, and chronic health issues. The outputs of the physiotherapy industry are often consumed by other NACE codes, such as 86.10 Hospital activities, 86.21 General medical practice activities, and 86.22 Specialist medical practice activities.
