Whether you are suffering from chronic pain, have had a fall, or are getting ready to have surgery, the team at Advantage Physiotherapy can help. Using proven techniques, they can help relieve pain, prevent falls, and improve mobility. They also have a variety of treatment options to help you recover from surgery or pre-surgery.
Pre-surgery
Having the right pre-surgery exercise program can greatly increase your chances of having a successful recovery. It will also help you reduce the recovery time and the risks associated with post-operative care.
Pre-surgery exercises are also known as pre-hab. These exercises are aimed at increasing your range of motion, increasing strength and improving your overall immunity. They can be done at home or in a physical therapy office.
Pre-hab also has the benefit of reducing the chances of having a serious pain after surgery. It may involve various techniques such as heat and ice treatments, massage and electrical stimulation.
Pre-surgery physical therapy is also known as pre-hub, and it can be a good idea to start at least six weeks before the actual surgery. However, pre-hub is not a substitute for a solid post-surgical exercise program.
Chronic pain
Physiotherapy for chronic pain is a treatment that helps to reduce pain and improve the quality of life. A physiotherapist will evaluate your medical history, perform a physical examination and design a treatment plan based on your individual needs. The goal is to help you regain your normal function and mobility.
Chronic pain can affect a person’s physical health, their mood and their ability to work and enjoy life. It can also make it difficult to relax or even concentrate.
Chronic pain is often accompanied by fatigue and depression. Some people may also feel frustrated or avoid social situations. They may be unable to work, have difficulty sleeping or even have thoughts of suicide.
There are many different treatments for chronic pain, including physical therapy. This type of treatment has been shown to help reduce pain, increase mobility and endurance, and improve strength.
Improves mobility
Physiotherapy for mobility is an important part of healing after an injury. It can also help to strengthen muscles and improve posture. Performing mobility exercises, such as walking, will help to strengthen the joints. It is also important for those who are less active. The elderly are at greater risk of falls and other injuries, making mobility work more important.
A physiotherapist will examine your body and develop a customized plan for improving your mobility. This plan may include changes to your daily routine, dietary modifications, and a variety of exercises to help improve your mobility.
The benefits of mobility work include reduced pain and improved range of motion. It also improves your posture, which reduces stress on the spine. It is best to do mobility work before you begin an exercise routine.
Prevents falls
Physiotherapy can be a key element in preventing falls in older people. It can be used to strengthen bones and maintain muscle strength. It can also help to build confidence and reduce the fear of falling. Physiotherapists can also support injury management.
Falls can cause injury, pain, and reduced quality of life. They also can impact family members’ lives. Physiotherapists can help reduce the risk of falling by providing education about falls, strength building exercises, and balance training.
Injuries from falls are common, with 22-60 percent of fallers suffering from injuries. Falls often result in a faller being hospitalized or having to live in a residential care facility. Falls can lead to an increased dependence on family and carers, which can strain families.
Falls occur because of a mismatch between an individual’s physiological function and their environment. A physiotherapist can help to prevent falls by developing a fall prevention program.
