π The Role of Physiotherapy in Glaucoma Care π
ποΈ Did you know? Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," can benefit from more than just medications and surgery. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in improving overall well-being and managing symptoms effectively. πͺ
π‘ How Physiotherapy Helps in Glaucoma:
πΉ Reduces Stress & Eye Pressure: Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises help manage intraocular pressure (IOP).
πΉ Improves Circulation: Gentle movements enhance blood flow to the eyes and surrounding muscles.
πΉ Boosts Mobility: Helps maintain balance and coordination, especially for those with vision impairments.
πΉ Prevents Muscle Strain: Corrective exercises relieve neck, shoulder, and back tension caused by compensatory postures.
