Amazing Physiotherapists! 😃
Hallo friend! 🤩

We're back together again on PhysioInfo!

Today's trip through the amazing physioworld helps us find out... Who are the Physiotherapists?

Physiotherapists study the science of movement. As a Physiotherapist-in-the-making myself 😉 I can pretty much tell you that we learn to accurately pinpoint the root causes of injuries. Big question is...When do you need a Physiotherapist?

Physios' come to the rescue when you have an injury or chronic pain that affects your everyday function or when you need postoperative care. A doctor may refer you to a physiotherapist after surgery such as hip replacement or an occurrence such as cardiac arrest or stroke.

What Physiotherapists do?

Physiotherapists focus on prevention and rehabilitation, by learning about your medical history. Physios' assess and diagnose the patient's condition, treatment plans designed and goals set. Physiotherapists prescribe the forms of exercise and all the assistive devices required.

When meeting a physiotherapists for any reason, rest assure your session will be unique because it's all about you and your specific needs.

It is popular belief that physiotherapy only brings you pain. Dear friend, we know now that this is nothing but a myth Physios'are well trained to alleviate and help patients manage pain. Myth Busted!!

Physio what-now?🧐

Welcome to PhysioInfo!

I'll be introducing us all to the amazing world of physiotherapy!

Physiotherapy also known as Physical therapy is a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent disease and disability through physical means.

Some folks say that physiotherapy is exercise based, well they are kinda right!

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future. It takes a holistic approach that involves the patient directly in their own care.

Physiotherapy is a drug-free treatment option but encompasses other treatment methods such as heat therapy, exercises, electrotherapy, patient education, and advice for treating an injury, ailment, or deformity. Certainly, a patient may participate in physiotherapy while on medications, but physiotherapists use drug-free, exercise-based remedies to treat a person’s ailments.

Physiotherapy can help someone feel better mentally, emotionally, physically, and increase their social functioning. An abstract published by Inlfuent said, “Strong evidence supports the positive and generalized role of physical activity/exercise to improve pain, mind (emotions and cognitions), movement, and social function.”

All this splendid work is done by the skillful Physiotherapists - a round of applause please!

Physiotherapists are experts in the structure of the human body and all its movement. They work with people of all ages to treat a wide range of health conditions including sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions as well as chronic health conditions such as , obesity,diabetes.

Glad all the Physio's are straightened out? See you next time!
