What is Physiotherapy Rehabilitation
  • Physiotherapy is the occupation in which
    professional physiotherapists work to improve a
    patients quality of life by developing,
    maintaining, and restoring their movement and
    functional abilities.
  • Types of Physiotherapies
  • Musculoskeletal and orthopedic physiotherapy,
    which consists of sprains, back pains, arthritis,
    strains, bursitis, incontinence, posture, sports
    and workplace injuries, as well as any conditions
    from reduced mobility.
  • Neurological disorders resulting from strokes,
    spinal cord injuries, acquired brain injuries,
    multiple sclerosis, and Parkinsons disease.
    Physiotherapy may also be helpful following any
    type of brain surgery, as well.
  • Cardiothoracic which is also known as a name that
    has been assigned to asthma, bronchial conditions
    such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
    (COPD) and cystic fibrosis.

Why Use Physiotherapy?
  • There a few simple reasons, one because it works
    and the other is because the results are can be
    remarkable for most patients. The earlier a
    person begins physiotherapy the sooner they will
    start to recover and feel better. The ultimate
    goal of physiotherapy is to relieve pain and
    correct the injured area as quickly as possible.
    Qualified therapists use techniques such as
    exercise, manual therapy, electrical therapy, and
    medical acupuncture these are just some examples
    of the types of physiotherapy treatment options
    available. Therapists also study the imbalance
    of muscle and postural behaviors to help them in
    developing a treatment plan that is best for the
    recovery process of the individual.

PhysiotherapyPutting an End to Pain and Suffering
  • How can Physiotherapy Help?
  • Many people confuse physiotherapy with
    chiropractic and massage therapy. However, it is
    like neither of those alternative treatments
    for pain. Physiotherapists address autonomic
    disorders that affect or nervous system. Asthma
    and sleep apnea patients can be treated by
    cardiovascular physiotherapists. A
    physiotherapist will use exercises as simple as
    having the patient blow up a balloon, to increase
    breathing control. Physiotherapy can also help
    strengthen the pelvic floor with certain
    exercises. Physiotherapy can also fight obesity
    by providing education about the effects being
    overweight has on the musculoskeletal system and
    setting up personalized exercise plans that wont
    be taxing on the patient's joints.

  • What is the Reason for Physiotherapy Exercises?
  • The exercises that physiotherapists use are meant
    to strengthen the patients muscles and get their
    muscles back to the way they were before the
    injury or debilitating disease weakened them. The
    physiotherapists goal is to return their
    patients muscle tone back to its optimum
    performance standard.
  • How can a Patient Prepare for the Therapy
    Session?
  • The therapy sessions are designed to aid the
    patient in the rehabilitation process, whether
    the physiotherapy is needed for a one-time
    injury or for the therapy of a chronic and
    ongoing disease. Some tips to take into account
    when preparing for your therapy session are as
    follows
  • Make sure to wear comfortable clothing so that
    your clothing wont be an impediment to the
    physiotherapists attempts to evaluate your joint
    stability and movements.
  • Ensure to council with your physiotherapist about
    the level of pain you are at and what you would
    like to achieve during your rehab sessions.
  • Be sure you are honest with your physiotherapists
    as to the nature of your pain, how long it has
    existed, and how long you have had this problem.

The Wonders of Physiotherapy and Physical
Rehabilitation
  • Swedish Massage Technique
  • involves a combination of techniques such as
    circular pressure that is being applied by the
    hands and palms of the massage therapist, as well
    as involving a firm kneading, with
    percussion-like tapping, in a bending and
    stretching motion.
  • Lymphatic Massage
  • this is also known as a lymphatic
    drainage/manual lymph drainage technique which
    was first developed in Germany. It was
    originally intended for the treatment of
    lymphedema which is the accumulation of fluids
    which collect in the lymph nodes after surgery,
    (most often after a mastectomy).
  • Deep Tissue Massage
  • involves a much deeper pressure technique which
    is used for releasing tension in the muscles
    which is caused by chronic pain and tension.

Physiotherapy and How It is the Best way to
Rehabilitation
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)
  • A study done by Colchester Hospital University
    NHS Foundation Trust, has proven that by treating
    their staff at NHS who suffers from MSDs
    (Musculoskeletal disorders) at an early stage
    with physiotherapy, resulted in these employees
    being able to either remain working (53.3 per
    cent), or return to work much more quickly within
    eight days, (21.7 per cent) and the remainder of
    employees were able to return to work after 30
    days than if they used another form of
    rehabilitation.
  • Falls
  • When a person is at risk for recurrent falls they
    are considered for being in need of
    multifactorial rehabilitation which is a form
    of rehabilitation that assists with their sense
    of balance and strength.

Cont
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)
  • Another study was done on patients requiring
    rehabilitation due to being chronically disabled
    by COPD, showed that physiotherapy done on an
    outpatient basis, actually decreases the length
    of hospital stays in the long term.

  • Strokes 
  • Physiotherapy during the recovery for stroke
    victims has also been a proven method of
    rehabilitation, allowing these people to recover
    much more quickly from the effects of the stroke.
  • It is much more cost-effective for a stroke
    victim to receive physiotherapy rehabilitation at
    home or within the community rather than at the
    hospital. Physiotherapy rehabilitation helps to
    reduce the persons long-term dependency on
    institutional care as well as the length of time
    spent in the hospital. A physiotherapist is
    assigned to each stroke victim as a way of aiding
    their rehabilitation and working with them to
    towards their re-ablement and recovery from the
    stroke.
