Taking physiotherapy to the next level
  • Physiotherapy is among the therapy areas that is
    trying to get a jump start. More than four
    decades ago the practice of physiotherapy focused
    on electrotherapy and hands-on treatment
    techniques. Now, we can see more and more
    companies trying to use the power of digital.
    Virtual reality has its foot in the door, with
    one company bringing to market a product that
    allows patients to put on a VR headset and
    undergo treatment from the comfort of their home.
    The immersive experience is specifically designed
    to engage patients in their treatment by framing
    regular physiotherapy exercises as humanly tasks,
    such as filling barrels with water.
  • In countries like Singapore, they have already
    started using robotics. It may sound like a
    futuristic movie, but it is the reality, and the
    first set of feedback has shown that patients did
    not feel a difference between a human being
    performing the massages on them or a robot.

How Physiotherapy Is Helping Astronauts
  • Before being sent to space, astronauts have
    regular meetings with a physiotherapist to treat
    and identify pre-existing conditions, improve
    posture and get the body in the best shape
    possible. This is similar to how a sportsperson
    would use the therapy to get ready.
  • Post-flight the goal is to optimize movement and
    restore the bodys functions. After the landing,
    the bodys systems are distressed and action
    should be taken right away. Physiotherapy is then
    used as management treatment involving a fitness
    routine meant to ameliorate the dizziness and
    enhance motor skills.

Sticking Needles In Your Skin To Help Alleviate
Cancer Symptoms
  • The therapy stimulates nerve activity causing the
    body to release substances such as endorphins. By
    doing so, it creates a natural pharmacy inside
    the body acting as a powerful agent against
    cancer symptoms. It has also helped decrease the
    number of painkillers, such as morphine, used by
    many patients. This in its own has its benefits
    since pain medication can increase risk of heart
    failure and cause addiction.
  • Just like many forms of alternative healing,
    acupuncture is rooted in Chinese medicine dating
    back to the Old Stone Age. It appears to have
    emerged as one of the earliest forms of
    alternative medicines. The philosophy dictates
    that there are thousands of points in the body
    which can be activated or awakened to stimulate
    healing, optimize functions and boost overall
    well-being. Currently, it is used to treat more
    than 800 diseases in clinics throughout the world.

Pains and needles dealing with Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome
  • Among the health issues that can benefit from
    this therapy we can count Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
    A condition that causes pressure on the wrists
    nerve generating numbness, pain, tingling or
    weakness of the hand. It is considered to be one
    of the modern time diseases being associated with
    the workplace, and doing strenuous and repetitive
    activities, such as sitting in front of the
    computer. It is thought to be the most common
    neuropathy, with 3-6 of the population suffering
    from it around the world .
  • Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is decided
    depending on the severity of the disease, and it
    can vary from conservative treatment with
    medications or splints, to a more invasive type
    called corticosteroid injection (involving
    injections in the wrists tendon).Simultaneously
    with acupunctures growth in popularity, its
    applications across medical conditions have
    increased, and it has shown great promise in
    treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Still involving
    needles, but in this case in a less painful way.

Are We Giving Massage Therapy The Credit It
Deserves?
  • It has been widely debated whether the technique
    is actually effective or it has to do more with a
    persons state of mind, similarly to a placebo.
    When referring to pain management, massage
    therapy has been gaining territory as a highly
    recommended non-invasive treatment option. And
    people everywhere are benefitting from it four
    in 10 people suffering from chronic pain around
    the world are strongly behind it, stating that it
    makes them feel very well. This is remarkable
    considering the impact this often debilitating
    condition may have on people.
  • People with cancer make use of massage therapy to
    ameliorate various symptoms caused by the disease
    itself or the type of treatment. Not only by
    enhancing the persons well-being, but also
    reducing fatigue, nausea and pain. Science now
    has opened the doors to countless opportunities
    to research massage therapy in various
    conditions, such as mental illnesses,
    Fibromyalgia, migraines or injuries. It is also
    an option many expectant mothers opt for during
    their pregnancies.
