FAQ's

Physiotherapy is a treatment to restore or maintain a patient’s mobility, function, and well-being. Additionally, it helps with rehabilitation, injury prevention, and promoting fitness. 

Physiotherapists employ a number of approaches to assist patients in recovering from disease, injury, or disability, including exercise, manual therapy, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation. 
 

There is a common misconception that physiotherapy is needed for those individuals with a higher risk of physical injuries or those with severe accidents that impair mobility. But it is beneficial for anyone at any stage of life. 

For younger people, physiotherapy helps promote stronger and healthier muscles and joints, whereas, for senior citizens, it helps with managing medical conditions to alleviate the pain and discomfort they may feel.
 

Physiotherapy helps address the following conditions:

  • Managing orthopaedic pain like arthritis, back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, sclerosis, and vertigo

  • Autoimmune conditions like fibromyalgia

  • Help with post-heart attack recovery

  • Occupational rehabilitation

  • Cerebral palsy

  • Trauma to the brain or spine causing immobility

  • Asthma can be effectively managed with proper breathing techniques

Depending on your condition, there are several treatment options available:

  • Hot fomentation: For lower back pain or other painful conditions, hot fomentation is given to relax the muscles and initiate healing due to increased blood supply.

  • Cold compress: Ice is used to reduce the inflammation in painful conditions such as arthritis. 

  • Manual manipulation: Physical therapists use their hands to massage and stretch joints and surrounding muscles to help strengthen muscles and correct any dysfunction.

  • Ultrasound Therapy: Ultrasound helps in increasing blood circulation and reduces inflammation, leading to local healing.

  • Electrical stimulation: Electrodes are placed on the affected area, which helps reduce pain and muscle spasms.

  • Laser Therapy: It is a therapeutic modality that is used for tissue healing and pain relief.

Before going into the session, wear comfortable clothing. Let your physiotherapist know about any drugs or supplements you are taking, along with medical issues you have. In some cases, additional physical examination is done to gauge where the pain is, how intense it can get, and so forth.

You will start with simple exercises with help from a physiotherapist. Gradually, exercises to improve your strength and flexibility; hands-on treatment like massage or joint mobilisation; electric stimulation; hot and cold therapies; and hydrotherapy may be recommended based on your personalised treatment plan. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids before and after the session to help with muscle recovery and reduce soreness. 
 

Lower back pain is a common medical condition affecting the world’s adult population caused by a combination of physical, psychological, and other factors. Depending on the intensity and frequency of back pain, a tailored treatment plan involving manual therapy, physical exercises, and other active treatments will be recommended. 
 

If the patient’s mobility is an issue, then they can opt for home care. However, some physiotherapy regimens require equipment that can be available only in the hospital/clinic, so the patient should visit to get better results. Apart from this, the physiotherapist can also keep an eye on the patient’s progress. 
 

Usually, each physiotherapy session lasts for 30 to 45 minutes; however, the duration can be increased up to 1 hour or 90 minutes if treatment is required for longer. The longer duration of physiotherapy sessions is recommended for those with severe/multiple issues. Our expert physiotherapist sets the duration for each therapy session after the assessment of the patient is done.
 

Your physiotherapist will be determining the frequency of sessions. For those undergoing physiotherapy during the recovery phase, sessions are held for 1 to 2 times a week or more to improve blood circulation while also strengthening muscles and joints. As you recover, the frequency of sessions can be reduced. Moreover, you will be encouraged to continue some exercise routine on your own to retain the benefits of physiotherapy for long.
 

Some of the risks associated with physiotherapy are:

  • Muscle soreness: Hands-on techniques in manual therapies may cause muscle soreness

  • Joint pain: Some exercises and stretches could result in joint pain or discomfort

  • Nerve damage: Improper physiotherapy technique or exerting excessive pressure while exercising can cause nerve damage

  • Injury: Improper exercise technique may result in injury
