What Is Physiotherapy Used for?
Physiotherapy procedures are prescribed to speed up recovery, rehabilitate the body after a long painful period, restore normal life processes, heal injuries and restore tone to the body. In chronic diseases, physiotherapy helps to reduce the risk of exacerbations or get out of such conditions. Physiotherapy can improve the effects of drug therapy.
It can be used to treat disorders in several of the body’s systems, including:
- Musculoskeletal (arthritis, osteochondrosis, sprains)
- Cardiovascular (cardio training, rehabilitation after heart attacks and strokes, massage for varicose veins)
- Respiratory (heating, inhalation) and others
What Is the Benefit of Physiotherapy?
The biggest advantage of physiotherapy is its naturalness. Non-pharmacological procedures stimulate the body to positive activity, due to which it recovers or copes better with problematic conditions. A professional physiotherapist is able to supplement the prescribed courses of drug treatment with the right group of procedures. Some of them are prescribed to enhance the effect of drugs, some support health during periods of rest from drugs or after the end of pharmacological treatment to transition to a familiar state.
Properly selected physiotherapy procedures help:
- Improve blood flow in the affected parts of the body
- Accelerate tissue regeneration
- Relieve pain syndrome
- Eliminate the effects of the injury
- Restore the healthy functioning of problematic organs and body parts
- Normalize the hormonal and humoral (water-salt) balance in the body
In addition, physiotherapy methods are used in the preparation of athletes for training and competition in order to reduce the risk of injury, as well as a preventive measure in hazardous work.
