Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy or Physiotherapy is a health care specialty concerned with assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal or locomotor system disorders which affect stability, form, function and movement of body.These disorders may arise due to vast variety of reasons of which major ones are injury, age or diseases. Since main purpose of Physical therapy is to restore function and movement of body of person affected as much as possible, it involves knowledge of patient’s medical history and hence, the programs are designed for every patient separately.It uses exercise, application of hot packs, cold packs, electricity and massage to correct the movement dysfunction. The use of Physical therapy programs is not just limited to rehabilitation but also in preventing injury and loss of movement and in promoting general health and fitness e.g. in case of sports persons, various programs are employed to maintain agility and improve performance.

Physical therapy comes to aid of patients of all ages and every health problem.Geriatrics, neurological, orthopedic, pediatrics, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation are some of the areas where Physiotherapy has been proved to be very advantageous i.e. it serves patients with cancer, birth defect, burns, stroke survivors, cardiac conditions to name a few. It uses latest technology and advanced scientific knowledge to make treatments more effective.The central idea behind any Physical therapy program recommended to a patient is not just to reduce the pain but also to achieve well-rounded improvement of patient’s conditions by paying attention to even the minutest details of patient’s medical history and devising the plan accordingly.
