Life has its good and bad times. When your health is good, you can manage things without complaint. It’s only when you are inflicted with a serious illness that you become dependent on medicines and other people. Severe issues related to bones and muscles call for physiotherapy sessions for most patients. In such scenarios, the patient’s condition makes moving out to a hospital or clinic difficult, or an elderly person may be involved. Physiotherapy at home is a great boon in such a scenario.
Home physiotherapy is especially beneficial for people with weakened immune systems who may be exposed to potential infections in public spaces.
The need for physiotherapy
Physiotherapy or physical therapy focuses on improving movement, function, and quality of life through physical methods. It involves assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing physical impairments caused by an injury or illness.
It is used in the following cases:
Rehabilitation: After surgery, stroke, or an accident.
Pain Management: To deal with arthritis, back pain, or sports injuries.
Chronic Conditions: Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or respiratory issues.
Preventive Care: To improve posture and reduce the risk of an injury in daily life or sports.
Some popular treatment techniques
These are the primary techniques used in treatment:
Manual Therapy: This includes massage, joint mobilisation and stretching.
Exercise Therapy: This includes exercises to restore strength, flexibility, and balance.
Electrotherapy: This involves the usage of ultrasound, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), or heat/cold therapy.
Education: As the name suggests, guiding people on posture, ergonomics, and self-care to prevent recurrence.
