Types Of Physiotherapy And The Reasons Behind Them

Before anything else, physiotherapy and physical therapy are synonymous despite what some allied workers say. Both aim to improve body movements through physical exercises and routines. With sports massage liverpool, you will understand each type of physiotherapy and why you need them.

 

Orthopedic Physiotherapy

 

First off, you should know that Orthopedics deals with anything concerning the bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments. So basically it covers most of your bodily movements. Getting an orthopedic type of physical therapy will most likely help relieve you of the pain you feel when stretching or walking, or that cracking sound whenever you try to bend and pick something up from the floor.

 

Geriatric Physiotherapy

 

The word Geriatric means ‘an old person.’ So it’s no brainer that this type of therapy focuses on the older folks and their illnesses. It could range from inability to move because of arthritis or osteoporosis, up to balance disorders (whatever cause) and incontinence. Geriatrics is a useful category because most people tend to forget the older patients, seeing most cases as something inevitable and caused by old age. That’s not true. Before concluding anything with the elderly, make sure you’ve exhausted all means of treatment and therapy.

 

Neurological Physiotherapy

 

‘Neuro’ always means anything that involves the brain. So, this type of therapy focuses on muscle problems that have stemmed from brain disorders. Neurological disorders can be due to accidents that involve brain trauma, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, neurological stroke, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), and cerebral palsy. This branch is an essential part of treatment for most patients who have had the mentioned sicknesses, of course, under the supervision and recommendation of the physician.

 

Pediatric Physiotherapy

 

Unfortunately, not all children can fully grow and develop due to some conditions that involve underdevelopment of muscle tissues, genetics, viruses, developmental delays, and cerebral palsy as well. Pediatrics is a branch that requires extra care and extensive treatments. Since children have needs that are very different from the needs of an average adult, having their category in Physiotherapy is a must.

 

Vestibular Physiotherapy

 

Vestibular Physiotherapy aims to help patients master or regain their balance. An imbalance caused by trauma, neurological, or even ear problems can be possible causes if ever you’re having a hard time walking or balancing yourself. Vestibular therapy is the kind of treatment you should choose.
