Physiotherapy Treatment

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is concerned with helping to restore physical well-being to people who are suffering from an injury, pain or disability. Physiotherapy utilizes  mobilization and myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuro-muscular re-education,  as well as prescriptive exercise as a rehabilitative tool to help patients achieve their full potential.

Physical therapy helps people of all ages who have medical conditions, illnesses or injuries that limit their regular ability to move and function. A customized physical therapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning, and encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well being.

Benefits of Physiotherapy

• Reduce or eliminate pain.Therapeutic exercises and  manual therapy techniques such as joint and soft tissue mobilization or treatments such as ultrasound, taping or electrical stimulation can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce pain. Such therapies can also prevent pain from returning.
• Avoid surgery. If physical therapy helps you eliminate pain or heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. And even if surgery is required, you may benefit from pre-surgery physical therapy. If you are going into a surgery stronger and in better shape, you will recover faster afterwards in many cases. Also, by avoiding surgery, health care costs are reduced.
• Improve mobility. If you’re having trouble standing, walking or moving—no matter your age—physical therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move.
• Recover from or prevent a sports injury. Different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). Designing appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs combined with regular chiropractic joint mobilization  for you may ensure a safe return to your sport.
