What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy aims to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.
When do you need Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the:
- bones, joints and soft tissue– such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries
- brain or nervous system– such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson’s disease
- heart and circulation– such as rehabilitation after a heart attack
- lungs and breathing– such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis
Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.
Who are Physiotherapists?
Physiotherapy is provided by specially-trained and regulated practitioners called physiotherapists.
Physiotherapists often work as part of a multi-disciplinary team in various areas of medicine and settings, including:
- hospitals
- community health centers or clinics
- some GP surgeries
- some sports teams, clubs, charities and workplaces
At first plus home health care we have physiotherapists who offer home visits.
What physiotherapists do?
Physiotherapists treat several ailments by using:
- education and advice– physiotherapists can give general advice about things that can affect your daily lives, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent injuries
- movement, tailored exercise, and physical activity advice – exercises may be recommended to improve your general health and mobility and to strengthen specific parts of your body
- manual therapy – where the physiotherapist uses their hands to help relieve pain and stiffness and to encourage a better movement of the body.
- Electro Therapy – where the physiotherapist uses electricity and electrical modalities like ultrasound, IFT, Tens, SWD, Traction etc to help relieve pain and stiffness.
- Physiotherapists also use several other techniques like hydrotherapy, dry needling, cupping therapy, acupuncture etc as a part of their treatment process.
Top 5 benefits of getting physiotherapy at home are:
- The session timings suit your life and not the clinic’s schedule.
- Along with Physical assessment, there can also be an environmental assessment.
- Recovery is faster – As rest time increases and commuting reduces.
