Physiotherapy treats functional limitations caused by injuries and illnesses affecting the muscles, joints and bones. It also treats health problems related to the following systems: neurological (brain, spinal cord and nerves), respiratory (lungs), circulatory (blood vessels), and cardiac (heart).
The role of physiotherapists is to help recover the most physical capacity according to one’s recovery potential. To this end, they use a variety of treatment modalities, such as manual techniques, exercises, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, and thermotherapy (ice or warmth). These interventions are focused on the clients’ self-responsibility and allow them to develop the physical capacities required for social integration, daily activities and the achievement of a job, hobby or sport.
Here are the main indications of physiotherapy:
