What is Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation?

Throughout life, physical therapy helps people achieve, preserve, and regain their maximal range of motion and functional capacity. This involves offering assistance in situations where ageing, injuries, illnesses, ailments, or environmental variables endanger movement and function. Being able to move well is essential to being healthy.

Identifying and optimising mobility potential and quality of life within the domains of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation, and rehabilitation are the focus of physiotherapy. This includes one’s social, psychological, emotional, and physical health. In physical therapy, patients/clients, other medical professionals, families, and communities engage in a process wherein the physical therapist uses their specialised knowledge and abilities to assess mobility potential and establish goals.

Physiotherapists can assist patients with the subsequent steps.

Typical Physical Therapy Interventions

Patients suffering amputations, spinal sprains, arthritis, or any type of medical procedure can find that physiotherapy does wonders in expediting their recuperation.

Some of the common treatments involved in physiotherapy include:

Electrotherapy : It is a form of energy-based physical therapy where electrodes affixed to the skin are used to administer electrical stimulation. Patients with severe decreased range of motion and paralysis receive electrotherapy.
Exercises for Range of Motion : When recovering from surgery or bone injuries, the body requires enough rest, yet prolonged immobility might actually slow down the healing process. As a result, range-of-motion exercises are prescribed to promote joint mobility, circulation, and movement. It also helps avoid posture issues associated with muscular atrophy.
Heat Therapy and Cryotherapy : People with desk jobs and professional athletes frequently lament about tight and stiff muscles. In such a situation, they might get rid of any muscular tightness throughout their body by applying heat or cold to the afflicted places. Hot packs or paraffin wax are used in heat therapy. Applying an ice pack or giving yourself an ice massage can be part of cryotherapy.
Soft Tissue Activation : Also referred to as a therapeutic massage, it can aid in reducing localised swelling and helping to relax the muscles. Treating the pain caused by sports injuries is a great use of soft tissue mobilisation. Additionally, it aids in maintaining proper lymphatic and blood flow as well as in lowering swelling around inflammatory joints.
Kinesio Taping : In order to support the patient’s joints and muscles throughout their physiotherapy session, a Kinesio tape is placed to their skin. Furthermore, there is no movement obstruction during the range-of-motion workouts due to the Kinesio tape.
Therapeutic Ultrasound : It entails the application of sound waves to medical injuries. A person with tendinitis, arthritis, or strained muscles can find relief from the sound waves, which are absorbed by ligaments, tendons, and fascia.
