Physiotherapy and the work of your Physiotherapist
Physiotherapy… helping your body with physical healing
A physiotherapist is a medically trained professional
who is able
to assess, diagnose and treat movement disorders and injuries,
restoring normal function, minimizing dysfunction and/or preventing recurring injuries, and
thereby enabling you to achieve the highest possible level of independence.
After a careful evaluation of the problem, he/she will work with you to create the most appropriate treatment plan for your condition and then help you to:
- recover from injuries;
- restore optimal functioning;
- minimise pain and stiffness;
- increase independent mobility, and
- prevent further or recurring injuries.
The following are common treatment methods a physiotherapist may use:
- joint and muscle manipulation/mobilization to reduce pain/stiffness and to speed up recovery;
- muscle re-education to improve control and functioning;
- skilled hands on therapy such as massage and acupressure to assist healing;
- the therapeutic use of heat, ice and traction,
- the use of sophisticated equipment e.g. specialised electrotherapy equipment,
- assistance with use of suitable walking aids, splints, crutches, wheelchairs and appliances;
- the creation of individually tailored exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles;
- patient education, and
- airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises.
Ultimately the physiotherapist will mobilize and enhance your body’s own healing mechanisms and as a result speed up recovery, minimize pain and restore your mobility. At work, at home and in recreational activities.
