Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a science-based health care profession which involves evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a range of diseases, disorders and disabilities using physical means. Physiotherapy uses a variety of techniques to help your muscles and joints work to their full potential. It can help repair damage by speeding up the healing process and reducing pain and stiffness and improving function. Physiotherapists also have an important role in rehabilitation following surgery or general deconditioning. However, physiotherapists don’t just offer treatment; their advice can help you prevent problems from returning or even from happening in the first place.

Physiotherapy improves strength, balance, mobility, endurance, confidence, independence and overall fitness as well as injury prevention and treatment. Before any action is taken, your physiotherapist will assess your condition, diagnose the problem, and help you understand what’s wrong. The physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your lifestyle, leisure activities, and general health. This will include advice on how you can help yourself; for example, you may be shown exercises that you can do between treatment sessions. Where appropriate, physiotherapists also advise carers how they can help. Throughout the treatment or re-training program, the physiotherapist evaluates your progress at regular intervals, modifying treatment and goals when necessary. In addition, your physiotherapist will also work with you to empower and to help you learn to manage your condition independently for the longer term.

Physiotherapy has evolved immensely the last years and is now acknowledged as an essential element in the management of most Orthopaedic, Neurological and Rheumatologic conditions.
