Objective.
To determine the obstacles to obtaining Optimal Physiotherapy services in a rural community in Southeastern Nigeria.
Methods.
Population-based cross-sectional study of individuals and health facilities in a rural community in Southeastern Nigeria.
Results.
The obstacles to obtaining optimal physiotherapy services in this community were unavailability of physiotherapy services, poor knowledge of health workers and community dwellers of the roles and scope of physiotherapy, poor health care seeking behavior of community dwellers, patronage of traditional health workers, and poor referral practices by health workers.
Conclusion.
Rural health workers in Nkanu West Local Government and other rural communities in Nigeria and Africa should be educated on the roles and scope of physiotherapy.
There is a need for raising awareness of the management options for movement/functional problems for rural indigenous communities in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general.
