Physiotherapy is a branch of medicine that uses techniques such as advanced muscle release, joint mobilization, and acupuncture to help treat most injuries. They also may use therapeutic modalities such as heat, ultrasound, IFC, and exercises to help in your recovery. Through their extensive training and education, your physiotherapist can do wonders for patients suffering from a multitude of problems that may cause pain and immobility.
Pilates is more than just exercise; it’s a method that connects the mind and body, helping you to achieve balance, control, and a sense of well-being. Regular Pilates practice can lead to:
Improved Posture: Strengthening your core and aligning your spine can reduce back pain and improve your posture.
Enhanced Flexibility: Gentle stretching and controlled movements help increase flexibility, which is essential for maintaining mobility as you age.
Better Mental Focus: Pilates encourages mindfulness and concentration, allowing you to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and focus on your personal growth.
Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low-energy acoustic wave pulsations that are directly applied to an injury through a person’s skin via a gel medium. The concept and technology originally evolved from the discovery that focused sound waves were capable of breaking down kidneys and gallstones. Generated shockwaves have proven successful in a number of scientific studies for the treatment of chronic conditions.
Compression hose/ stockings are specially made, snug-fitting, stretchy socks/ knee highs, thigh highs or pantyhose that gently squeeze your leg. Graduated compression or pressure stockings are tighter around your ankle and get looser as they move up your leg.
Compression stockings can keep your legs from getting tired and achy. They can also ease swelling in your feet and ankles as well as help prevent and treat spider and varicose veins. They may even stop you from feeling light-headed or dizzy when you stand up.
Because the blood keeps moving, it's harder for it to pool in your veins and make a clot. If one forms and breaks free, it can travel with your blood and get stuck somewhere dangerous, like your lungs. Clots also make it harder for blood to flow around them, and that can cause swelling, discolored skin, and other problems.
Orthopedic braces are medical devices designed to address musculoskeletal issues; they are used to properly align, correct the position, support, stabilize, and protect certain parts of the body (particularly the muscles, joints, and bones) as they heal from injury or trauma. These medical devices are often prescribed for the patient to wear during the process of recovery and rehabilitation.
