Benefits Of Physiotherapy
- Reduces Or Eliminates Pain: Physiotherapy helps in pain management in various cases for both chronic pain and pain resulting from an accident or injury. Therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques including joint and soft tissue mobilization or treatments such as electric stimulation or taping can aid in relieving and restoring joint mobility. Moreover, these physiotherapy treatments can prevent the pain from returning. Our wellness pain management packages help you heal from underlying chronic or acute pain.
- Helps In Avoiding Surgery: Some pain and movement problems can become chronic and lead to surgery. While surgery cannot be avoided in some cases, physiotherapy can help avoid the same by helping the patient eliminate pain and heal from an injury. In some cases, if the surgery is necessary, physiotherapy benefits the patient with pre and post-rehabilitation programs that help mitigate the complications. Moreover, avoiding surgery can reduce healthcare costs.
- Improves Balance And Prevents Falls: When a problem in an individual’s vestibular system causes balance issues, physiotherapists perform specific manoeuvres to rapidly restore proper vestibular functioning and eliminate systems of dizziness. This is especially important for patients who are at high risk for falls. Physiotherapists provide exercises and physical therapies that safely and carefully challenge the body’s balance as a way of mimicking real-life situations. These therapies along with assistive devices help improve coordination and ensure safer walking.

For Which Conditions Is Physiotherapy Beneficial?
Physiotherapy can assist with several treatments to speed up the recovery process and improve musculoskeletal conditions. The importance of physiotherapy can not be understated as it can directly or indirectly help prevent and improve various conditions. Some conditions that could benefit from physiotherapy include:
- Neurological Conditions: Physiotherapy plays a key role in correcting and improving the motor skills of patients who have suffered a stroke or have conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injuries, and multiple sclerosis. Physiotherapy treatment can help patients compensate for weaknesses and deficits in mobility and walking to recover full or partial function and stop further potential deterioration.
- Cardiopulmonary Conditions: Physiotherapy treatments involve guided exercises to help patients suffering from breathing issues that are interfering with their day-to-day lives. Cardiac patients can also follow specific exercises on basic movement to regain their body functions after surgery.
- Sports Injuries: Physiotherapists often work with sports people to assess their complete range of motion and advise on recovery and rehabilitation. They can educate sportsmen on their bodies’ limits and provide beneficial physical exercises.
- Muscular Dystrophy: Muscular Dystrophy is a congenital condition that causes loss of muscle strength. Physiotherapy can reduce the pain and also improve mobility affected by the condition.
Current Challenges & Role Of Technology In Physiotherapy
Today, the health-conscious generation values accessibility, flexibility, communication, and convenience. They actively seek out these qualities from providers as they look for a way to improve and maintain their health.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent restrictions on movement, millennials and Generation Z, the current dominant demographic, showed dissatisfaction with the traditional care models, including physiotherapy. The lack of convenience associated with the location of the channel of care has become a challenge for the current status quo.
Moreover, the pandemic triggered physiotherapists to change their approaches as clinics and practices were shut down for a long period. A major shift is thus expected in physiotherapy, as the gap widens between the increasing patient expectations and what’s currently available in the market.
