What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can help aid people with movement disorder which may be present from birth or acquired through accident injury or a life changing event. Physiotherapists use a range of techniques to help your muscles and joints work to their full potential. Treatment can help repair damage by speeding up the healing process, reducing pain and stiffness.
Physiotherapists also have an important role in rehabilitation, for example, helping people who have had strokes to relearn basic movements.
What types of problem can physiotherapy help?
Virtually any condition that affects your muscles, joints, or nerves can be helped by physiotherapy. Common problems include:
Painful conditions such as arthritis
Back and neck pain, including whiplash
Problems affecting children including cerebral palsy
Pregnancy-related symptoms such as back pain and stress incontinence
Upper limb work-related problems, also know as repetitive strain injury (RSI)
Asthma and other breathing difficulties
Sports injuries
Stroke and other neurological problems
What does the treatment involve?
Before any action is taken your physiotherapist will evaluate your condition, diagnose the problem, and help you understand what’s wrong. The physio will work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your lifestyle, leisure activities, and general health. This will include advice on how you can help yourself; for example, you may be shown exercises that you can do between treatment sessions. Where appropriate, physiotherapists also advise carers how they can help.
Physiotherapists use a variety of treatments. For example:
Exercise programs, including exercise in water and group exercise programs, designed to improve mobility and strengthen muscles
Massage
Joint manipulation and mobilization to reduce pain and stiffness
Muscle re-education
Hot and cold packs and electrotherapy to relieve pain, reduce swelling, speed up the healing process, improve movement, and increase functional abilities
Airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises, to assist people with a variety of breathing difficulties
Assistance with the use of aids, eg splints, crutches, canes, and wheelchairs.
Throughout the treatment or re-training program, the physio evaluates your progress at regular intervals, modifying treatment and goals when necessary. Wherever possible your physio will also work with you to help you learn to manage your condition independently for the longer term
Physiotherapy deals with movement at all stages of life. I hope you will move well and stay well with the help of your chosen physio. Remember, there is a lot of truth to the motto Use it or lose it.
