Physiotherapy: diseases it addresses
Physical therapy is the science that deals with the physical restoration of health.
It assesses, supports and restores the physical function and performance of the human body, while the goal is for patients who have suffered an injury, surgery, suffer from chronic pain or disability and present difficulties in their movement and activities of daily living, to recover, deal with and manage their pain and restore functionality with the aim of improving their quality of life.
Pain, movement or functionality problems
It is aimed, regardless of age, at people who face pain, movement or functionality problems, which may have been caused by injuries, illnesses, chronic conditions, incorrect posture or overuse due to professional demands (e.g. athletes).
Pathological conditions
Pathological conditions, congenital (congenital) and acquired, as well as traumatic injuries that cause disorders in the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular and other systems of the human body, are treated.
In the elderly or patients with chronic diseases
The benefits of physiotherapy in the elderly or patients with chronic diseases are significant in order to prevent deterioration and achieve improvement or maintenance of the existing condition.
Patients hospitalized
It is essential for patients hospitalized in the hospital or in a rehabilitation clinic. Physiotherapists strengthen the muscular system with appropriate exercises and train patients so that they can self-care and leave the hospital as soon as possible, returning smoothly to their daily lives.When they no longer require inpatient treatment, they can of course continue their treatment at home while, at the same time, being integrated into their family environment.
Physiotherapy is not only effective in the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of various diseases but also in prevention.
The role of physiotherapy in prevention
Physiotherapy can contribute to maintaining the good physical condition of people who are stressed, mentally and physically, by the demanding rhythms of modern life and the lack of exercise. This is achieved by relieving pain, restoring movement and functionality, training in correct posture, balance, gait as well as by the overall improvement of the body’s functions, ensuring good physical condition and well-being.
