What Exactly Is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
Orthopedic physiotherapy is a sub-branch of physiotherapy. Under this, specialized doctors treats your injuries (and sometimes conditions) of the musculoskeletal system. Essentially everything that helps you move – from bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons. You could have got a sports injury or had a surgery done. Or you could be dealing with chronic pain . Orthopedic physical therapy uses targeted exercises for these. We treat these through manual therapy techniques to restore your mobility and strength. The goal is not just about reducing pain (though that is important too). The main thing is to help you return to the activities you love. Your overall quality of life should improve which is our main aim. Our therapists will work with you to get a better understanding of your issues and goals. Our people give you a personalised treatment plan that is right for you.
Treatments that rely solely on medication or rest do not work all the time. The thing about orthopedic physiotherapy is that it is much more active. We work together on exercises that help your body heal itself properly. Your therapist will show you exactly what to do. We will make sure you are doing things the right way that will improve flexibility and retrain your body to move correctly. This might include joint mobilization or something like therapeutic exercises. Stretching routines work extremely well. Plus we give you functional training that mimics your daily activities. There is another beautiful thing about orthopedic rehab. It not only treats your current issue. We also help you avoid the same problem by sorting out whatever caused it in the first place.
