Physiotherapists work to promote physical activity that maintains and revives a patient’s physical movement, functional ability, and wellness. Physiotherapy Services also support and complement other healthcare professions, such as physicians, surgeons, nurses, occupational therapists, and psychologists.

Pain Management

Physiotherapy can provide patients with a range of techniques and tools for managing their pain, including manual therapy (massage, joint mobilization), ice treatments, heat therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, stretching exercises, breathing exercises and patient education. They also offer guidance on body mechanics, posture, and lifestyle modifications to prevent the recurrence of pain.

Patients come to physiotherapy for many different reasons, from major health crises like heart attack or stroke, to sports injuries or just to improve their fitness. Physiotherapists help people who suffer from chronic back or neck pain, and address issues related to pregnancy and childbirth like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction. They also assist older adults with balance and mobility issues and provide education to prevent falls.

When choosing a physiotherapist, look for one with a friendly and approachable demeanor. The physiotherapist should take the time to explain their treatment plan and answer any questions, so that you feel comfortable with their methods. They should also be able to accommodate your schedule and provide a convenient location for appointments. If they have online booking and scheduling options, that is even better. This will save you the hassle of calling, and makes it easy for you to make an appointment that suits your busy lifestyle.…
