What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy (PT), sometimes confused with physiotherapy, refers to the services provided by qualified physical therapists that aim at physical management and treatment of the patient’s condition or disease so that patient can lead a life to their full potential.
Whether you have pain, a physical delay, disease, injury or have suffered an accident, physical therapy can bring positive results. With some of the best physical therapy treatments in practice, we at Total Health & Rehab will try to get you back on track.
Who Needs Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy can be helpful in a broad spectrum of cases of all age groups. Some of the common issues that are treated with physical therapy are:
Those with musculoskeletal disorders such as knee injuries, shoulder injuries, back pains, neck pains, sprains or strains.
Those with neurological problems such as strokes or cerebral palsy children.
Those needing post surgical rehabilitation after knee surgery, shoulder surgery, spine or back surgery.
Physical therapy involves the use of non-invasive techniques that are safe and beneficial if done by professional physiotherapists. Physical therapy also trains the patient to use special equipment and to cope with day-to-day life with his limitations. It also involves use of modalities as per patient’s requirements, including TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), Ultrasound, Traction, Hotpacks, Coldpacks, Whirlpools, Intermittent Compression Pumps and Myofascial Release along with techniques such as massage therapy and joint mobilization exercises.
