Physiotherapy or physical therapy is an allied health profession that focuses on many aspects of healthcare including awareness, prevention, rehabilitation and treatment.
Typically, a person is referred to a physiotherapist when he experiences mobility issues. The physiotherapist will work with the patient and develop a customized plan to manage pain and improve balance and mobility.
A person could be referred to a physiotherapist after some kind of trauma, for post-surgery rehabilitation or for musculoskeletal pain management. Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages – from children to the elderly.
A physiotherapist’s goal is to always improve quality of life for the patient.
Dealing with Sports Injuries: Physiotherapists help sportspeople with both prevention as well as management of the injuries they sustain on the sporting arena.
Improving Quality of Life for the Elderly: While it is known that physiotherapy helps with regaining mobility after a health condition or some kind of trauma, for the elderly, the objectives of physiotherapy are slightly different.
Physiotherapy treatment helps to prevent and manage many chronic conditions. Studies have shown that exercises not only help individuals who have been diagnosed with chronic conditions maintain fitness, but they also negate risk-factors that could lead to further complications.
Given below are three of the many chronic conditions that can benefit from physiotherapy.
