Physiotherapy – formerly known as physiotherapy – is used for the treatment and prevention of physical complaints, injuries, and diseases. Different active and passive techniques and procedures are used. Read everything you need to know about physiotherapy: how it works when to use it and what the risks are.
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy treats restrictions in the body’s ability to move and function and is a medically prescribed remedy. It is a useful addition and sometimes an alternative to operations or medication. Physiotherapy includes physiotherapy, physical exercises, massages, and manual lymphatic drainage.
Physiotherapy can be carried out as an inpatient or outpatient (in a physiotherapy practice). There is also mobile physiotherapy. The Physical Therapy Assistants or physiotherapist comes to the patient. This has the advantage that the patient can practice certain movement sequences in his familiar environment. Mobile physiotherapy is also useful for patients for whom their illness or physical limitations make it difficult or even impossible to visit a practice.
A special variant is the extended outpatient physiotherapy: In addition to general physiotherapeutic care, it includes advanced medical training that restores the patient’s performance both privately and at work.
Special directions or methods of physiotherapy are, for example:
Sports Physiotherapy
Sports physiotherapy is primarily aimed at the care and training of athletes as well as the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. Important components include warming up, stretching, the correct implementation of physiotherapy or physiotherapy exercises, and, if necessary, the treatment of injuries caused by sport.
Physiotherapy on the device (physiotherapy on the device)
The device-supported physiotherapy aims to improve muscle strength and endurance, mobility, and coordination, especially with orthopedic complaints, with the help of training equipment and traction apparatus. Frequently used devices are, for example, bicycle ergometers, classic strength training devices, and cable pull.
CMD physiotherapy
CMD stands for craniomandibular dysfunction and describes a disorder of the chewing function, which can lead to a wide variety of symptoms such as headache, back pain, and jaw pain, tension, tinnitus, or teeth grinding. The most common cause is a misalignment of the jaw, which can be treated with special CMD physiotherapy.
Respiratory therapy
As respiratory therapy techniques are referred to, facilitate the patient breathing. It is prescribed, for example, to patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Back training
A back training strengthens and mobility of the spine and strengthens the back muscles. With the help of various back exercises, bad posture and back pain can be avoided or reduced.
When do you do physiotherapy?
The goals of physiotherapy are primarily determined by the patient and his clinical picture. It is about relieving pain, promoting metabolism and blood circulation, and improving or maintaining mobility, coordination, strength, and endurance. In addition to the age and condition of the patient, physiotherapy should also take into account everyday living conditions. The course of the disease also plays an important role.
Man is a perfect construction. However, in the course of life, there are changes in the musculoskeletal system that lead to the restriction, discomfort, or loss of functions. For individually successful therapy, an interdisciplinary concept of orthopedics, physiotherapy, and sports science competence must take effect.
What happens in the physio practice?
It isn’t uncommon for indistinguishable findings to do in this phase. Because you’ll presumably describe your issue during the physiotherapist’s practice. The physical therapist may be suitable to show you effective and new possibilities of remedy which he has endured through constant further training, however, the doctor may not be familiar with to this level.
The physical therapist will give treatment to you that define long-term and short-term pretensions to be suitable to help you gain great joy in life through freedom from pain.
