Physiotherapy

Exercise Therapy: Physiotherapists prescribe specific exercises and therapeutic activities to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. These exercises may target specific muscle groups or movements to address areas of weakness or dysfunction.

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and manipulation are used to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore normal movement patterns. Manual therapy can help relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing.

Electrotherapy: Modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may be used to provide pain relief, reduce muscle spasm, and facilitate tissue healing. These modalities can be particularly effective for managing acute or chronic pain conditions.

Thermal Modalities: Heat and cold therapies, including hot packs, cold packs, and contrast baths, are commonly used to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve circulation. These modalities can be applied locally to affected areas or used in conjunction with other treatments.

Education and Counseling: Physiotherapists provide education to patients and their families about their condition, treatment options, and strategies for self-management. This may include advice on posture, ergonomics, home exercises, and injury prevention techniques.

Functional Training: Physiotherapists work with patients to improve their ability to perform daily activities and functional tasks. This may involve practicing specific movements, such as walking, climbing stairs, or lifting objects, in a controlled environment to build strength, coordination, and confidence.

Assistive Devices and Mobility Aids: Physiotherapists may recommend and prescribe assistive devices such as braces, splints, canes, or walkers to support mobility and independence. They also provide instruction on how to use these devices safely and effectively.
