Mobilizing and manipulating joints
This technique involves applying precise amounts of force to a joint to improve its movement and function. Physical therapists are trained to perform these movements safely and effectively to reduce pain and increase flexibility.
Therapeutic exercise
It is a central component of any physiotherapy program because these exercises are designed to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve endurance. They often include resistance training, stretching exercises, balance and coordination activities and cardiovascular exercises.
Massage therapy
Massage can be used as part of physical therapy to reduce muscle tension, speed up blood circulation and improve flexibility. Techniques can range from deep tissue massage to gentle mobilization and soft tissue stretching.
Techniques involving temperature
Heat is used to increase blood flow, reduce muscle spasms and promote relaxation, while cold therapy can minimize inflammation and numb painful areas.
Electrotherapy
Techniques such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation are used to reduce pain, enhance the healing process and strengthen muscles. These methods use electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves and have soothing and revitalizing effects on them.
Hydrokinetotherapy
It involves using water to relieve discomfort and promote physical well-being. Hydrotherapy can take many forms, ranging from water exercises, hot/cold water immersion and whirlpool baths. Buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure and water temperature can also be used to achieve specific therapeutic effects.
Neuromuscular retraining
This technique involves teaching the body to move in ways that correct dysfunctions and promote optimal movement. Neuromuscular retraining could be used following injury or surgery, but also for conditions such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease.
Balance training
This type of training is essential to prevent possible imbalances, especially in older people. Therapists use a variety of techniques to improve balance from exercises, balance boards, and computerized systems designed to challenge balance control so that the elderly can more easily control their movements.
Gait training
This technique is used to help patients walk safely and efficiently and is achieved by improving strength, balance and coordination. It is often implemented after injury, surgery or for conditions that affect walking ability.
Manual therapy
It involves techniques such as soft tissue work and joint mobilization to increase range of motion, reduce pain, decrease swelling, reduce restrictions and of course improve vital mobile functions.
