Diet, Disorders And Physiotherapy Things You
Should Know
  • There is a common misconception that
    physiotherapy is in the same category with less
    proven alternative medicines. However, there is
    now enough evidence to back up the actual health
    benefits of it, especially when taking into
    account diet. Because physiotherapy is known to
    empower the patient and help them take matters
    into their own hands, professionals should factor
    in the dietary side as well.
  • Blood flow is of utter importance, as low levels
    can increase the possibility of developing
    cardiovascular diseases, or musculoskeletal
    disorders . Physiotherapeutic exercises can
    promote an increase in blood flow, and in
    combination with the right aliments, it has the
    potential to help the circulation to muscles and
    develop or expand exercise tolerance. For
    instance, it has been proven that consuming
    orange juice daily for four weeks can decrease
    blood pressure and have anti-inflammatory
    effects. Beet juice consumption reduced
    hypertension considerably in just 24 hours.
    Alongside physiotherapy training, these can
    stimulate the central nervous system and improve
    brain function.

Diet, Disorders And Physiotherapy Things You
Should Know
  • Additionally, doing physical exercise can put a
    strain on the glucose in the blood, and it
    becomes increasingly difficult for the body to
    transport it to the muscles. This becomes
    especially difficult for people already suffering
    from diabetes. While exercising can positively
    impact insulin sensitivity, having the right
    nutrition to support it adequately is key. This
    also links to cardiovascular problems and their
    management or prevention. Physiotherapy can
    improve cardiac output and have effects on heart
    rate, endurance, and arterial blood flow. The
    evidence further demonstrates that to achieve
    optimal health and lower chances of developing
    cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or being obese,
    one should have an integrated approach a
    balanced and appropriate nutrition combined with
    physiotherapeutic exercise.

Physiotherapy And Chiropractic Do You Know The
Similarities And Dissimilarities?
  • The difference lies in technique and approach
  • Chiropractors focus mainly on manipulating the
    spine and mobilizing joints through a technique
    called adjustment. Physiotherapists tend to work
    the soft tissues, such as muscles or tendons, to
    enable mobility and promote overall wellbeing.
    Physiotherapy has been used to treat similar
    conditions as chiropractic has. However, it has
    an advantage while chiropractic usually deals
    with spinal conditions and pains and it enables
    the bodys inner pharmacy to react and start the
    healing process, physiotherapy can have a
    comprehensive approach for the patients whole
    body.
  • Both have been around for thousands of years
  • Physiotherapy is considered to have been
    established by The Father of Medicine,
    Hippocrates himself in the year 460 . He
    introduced the idea of manually manipulating the
    body to achieve pain relief and boost health.

Physiotherapy And Chiropractic Do You Know The
Similarities And Dissimilarities?
  • This paved the way for a new medical practice to
    be born, but it was only in the 19th century when
    its benefits were recognized. Even though
    chiropractic techniques have been used in Chinese
    medicine in the early days, it was only after
    Daniel David Palmer developed it in 1895 that is
    started becoming more and more popular. People
    all over the world got excited and curious about
    what this new art of healing could potentially
    mean for them.
  • Both are effective in treating back pain, and are
    cost-efficient
  • According to recent researches, patients who
    choose to see a physiotherapist or a chiropractor
    for their health issues saved 50 on their
    initial treatment costs, and experienced a
    reduction of 72 in costs within the first year
    .This can also have a great impact on healthcare
    system spending as more referrals to
    physiotherapists and chiropractors can take the
    pressure off GPs and can results in less
    hospitalization days.

Is Your Child Suffering From Cerebral Palsy?
Physiotherapy Might Be Your Answer
  • A less expensive and non-invasive, but often
    overlooked option is physiotherapy. Since every
    patient is unique in how they are experiencing
    conditions, a physiotherapist will work to create
    customized objectives. For example, some babies
    may have postural problems leading them to hold
    their shoulders up, next to their ears. To
    correct this, gentle stroking and repetitively
    applying pressure down on their shoulders can
    help them achieve a better posture. Other
    techniques can be aimed at genetic or
    neuromuscular conditions and chronic disorders.
  • Physiotherapy can play a key role in promoting
    adequate positions and body movement patterns,
    improve developmental skills and muscle function,
    alleviate pain and help overcome challenges.
    Among the most common trainings, we can count
    ball exercising to boost strength and crawling,
    kneading and stretching, head control and
    compression exercises, or techniques to improve
    flexibility and balance throughout the body.
  • Paediatric physiotherapy is a fundamental service
    in managing developmental disabilities, such as
    cerebral palsy. It can also play an important
    role in diagnosing and identifying disorders
    through assessments. These assessments should be
    done regularly as they are relevant to the
    overall management. The majority of children will
    visit a physiotherapist every 6 to 12 months
    depending on how severe the condition is, or if
    sudden changes occur.

More And More People Are Suffering From Vertigo,
But Are We Doing Everything We Can?
  • Currently, the physiotherapy industry in Canada
    is valued at around 3bn and it has seen a
    growth of 2.9 in the past 5 years. While it is
    widely known to have positive effects in
    pain-related conditions, and rehabilitation,
    physiotherapy can be of crucial importance in the
    treatment and management of vertigo. An Asian
    study involving 12 trials and 758 patients aged
    between 18 and 70 years old has demonstrated that
    physiotherapy has been more effective in
    alleviating vertigo than the sham treatment, or
    the Epley treatment the standard technique used
    for dizziness. Importantly to note here is that
    the standard care for vertigo involves
    repositioning maneuvers, which cannot be
    tolerated by people suffering from cervical spine
    problems. This limits treatment options and it
    forces them to either having to bear through the
    symptom, or seek alternatives that might be
    dangerous or unsuitable for them.

Have You Heard Of Womens Health Physiotherapy?
See How It Can Help
  • In spite of studies having been conducted since
    as early as 1948 around the effects of
    physiotherapy in patients suffering from PFD,
    there is still a need for awareness. With many of
    its applications and effects still undiscovered,
    this therapy shows great potential. For instance,
    one study shows that the effectiveness of pelvic
    floor muscle exercise is highly dependent on the
    frequency of the exercise and its intensity. It
    also pointed out that by doing 15 contractions of
    2 to 4 seconds, 3 times a day for 8 weeks, women
    with PFD experienced a great reduction in urinary
    incontinence related symptoms .
  • An article published in 2016 in the scientific
    publication Urology News starts by stating that
    physiotherapy should be used as a first-line
    treatment option for women with pelvic organ
    collapse and urinary incontinence, with data to
    back that statement up. Similarly to previous
    study, evidence showed that adherence is of utter
    importance in reaching goals.
  • Another important aspect to note here is the
    emotional burden that comes alongside the
    condition. It has been proven that a womens
    emotional well-being is directly linked to a PFD
    . With many suffering from depression, anxiety
    and social isolation, it is not difficult to
    imagine how much of an impact this has on their
    quality of life.
