WHAT DO PHYSIOTHERAPIST DO AND WHY IS IT USED?
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.
When is physiotherapy used?
Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of
health conditions, including problems affecting the:
- bones,
joints and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries
- brain
or nervous system – such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple
sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson's
disease
- heart
and circulation –
such as rehabilitation after a heart attack
- lungs and breathing – such as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic
fibrosis
Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to
prevent further injuries.
What physiotherapists do
Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing
on the individual aspects of an injury or illness.
Some of the main approaches used by physiotherapists include:
- education
and advice – physiotherapists
can give general advice about things that can affect your daily lives,
such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent
injuries
- movement,
tailored exercise and physical activity advice – exercises may be
recommended to improve your general health and mobility, and to strengthen
specific parts of your body
- manual therapy – where the
physiotherapist uses their hands to help relieve pain and stiffness, and
to encourage better movement of the body
There are other techniques that may sometimes be used, such as exercises
carried out in water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) or acupuncture.
