Basics Behind Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help restore normal function in your body when you are experiencing pain or illness. A physiotherapist is capable of helping a patient with problems regarding bones, the heart and lungs, neurological conditions and old age. Physiotherapists are specially trained to help diagnose problems and devise plans for treatment that include movement, massage, manipulation, and support for chronic conditions. This type of healthcare professional is often found working in hospitals, clinics and private practices. A physiotherapist is a holistic practitioner, meaning that he or she looks at an individual’s lifestyle, as well as his or her presenting issues, when meeting for a consultation.

It is first necessary to set up a consultation with a physio when seeking treatment. He or she will look at your medical history, presenting symptoms, lifestyle choices and general level of wellness before diagnosing your condition. At this point, the physiotherapist will help come up with a plan for treatment of your symptoms. You can expect to have a full review of all of these factors before the physio will develop a plan. The plan can include things that are done within the office, such as massage, as well as things that you can do outside of the office to help your condition.

Common treatment practices for therapists include manipulation of the body, which means rearranging the soft tissues through chiropractic techniques and massage. This is done within the office and can have an impact on headaches, neck and back pain, and relaxation. Movement is also widely used, which can mean setting up an exercise program for you that will slowly help to change your symptoms. If you recently had a heart attack, a physio can show you proper exercises to perform to help your heart become healthy once again. This is also used for joint and bone problems that can occur throughout your life due to various factors including old age.

Energy therapy is another treatment utilized to help you heal. Energy therapy is a way of transferring small amounts of electric energy into your body to stimulate areas that are causing problems. This is also done with lasers and sound waves. This is performed by physios who have been specially trained in this area of treatment, and can help with a multitude of symptoms from nerve pain to muscle spasms. Hydrotherapy involves the use of water for its healing properties, and can include soaking in hot water-filled tubs that can ease tension and help sore muscles.

Since physiotherapy is a holistic type of healthcare, the practitioner will look at your lifestyle and wellness practices in order to help you with your issues. You might be experiencing pain due to something that you do every day, such as carrying items incorrectly. It is also possible to injure yourself through everyday exercise or tension. A helpful practitioner will show you the correct way to do these things so that you do not injure yourself in the process, and teach you relaxation techniques that you can use at home.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO: SHOULDER PAIN

Shoulder pain can be one of the most debilitating injuries for people to live with. If you are experiencing a sharp catch of pain when taking you arm above your head you may be suffering from a shoulder injury known as rotator cuff tendinopathy.

The rotator cuff muscles are a group of muscles that sit around the shoulder. Their primary function is to stabilize the shoulder in its socket. If a person is participating in regular overhead activities such as swimming or tennis and these muscles are not properly conditioned the shoulder loses it overall stability and the tendons of these muscles can become pinched against the bony surfaces. Over time this leads to the tendons becoming inflamed, thickened and weakened. If shoulder pain is left untreated the symptoms can increase in both severity and frequency.

The first line of treatment for settling this condition is to reduce the inflammation in the tendons. This is best achieved through a combination of electrotherapy devices administered by a physiotherapist and regular icing and anti-inflammatory medications.

Once the inflammation has settled correcting the causative factors is critical to ensuring long term recovery of the shoulder. Two of the most common factors affecting correct shoulder function are muscle tightness and rotator cuff weakness.

The most common area where muscle tightness predisposes a person to rotator cuff tendinopathy is at the back of their shoulder. Excessive tightness in this area changes the resting position of the shoulder so that the shoulder sits slightly elevated and slightly forward. This change in the resting position of the shoulder means that the tendons of the shoulder are more likely to become pinched by the bony surfaces when attempting any arm movement.

If weakness is apparent in the rotator cuff muscle groups the shoulder is less stable and movement will not be as well controlled. Repeated overhead work or repetition of a specific task that requires the rotator cuff muscles to work predisposes a person to rotator cuff tendinopathy. Individuals are unable to control their shoulder movement leading to pinching of the tendons against the bony surfaces. Over time the repetition of shoulder movement and the pinching of the tendons will lead to thickening and weakening and increasing overall recovery time.

Early diagnosis and management of shoulder pain is essential to ensure recovery time is minimized. Physiotherapy can assist in also correcting any predisposing factors contributing to the condition to ensure long term recovery of your shoulder.
