Physiotherapist

You should opt for a physiotherapist consultation if you experience any of the below stated problems:

• If you are experiencing physical pain
• If the pain somehow doesn't reduce even with medication (or gets worse)
• If the pain is intense and restricting your activities
• If pain has been bothering you for a long period and is limiting you from participating in sports and/or other physical activities

A physiotherapist will evaluate your condition and do a physical exam before designing a treatment plan specific to your needs.

The following are some of the most common treatment plans used by physiotherapists:

• Strengthening exercises for weak areas
• Massages that can help relieve soft tissue discomfort
• Cold treatment to relieve pain and inflammation
• Joint mobility or adjustment treatments
• Muscle spasms can be relieved using ultrasound treatment
• Increase blood flow by using heat treatment
• Electrical activity to assist muscles that cannot function properly on their own

In your first consultation, the physiotherapist may conduct some physical exams on you to determine the cause of the injury or pain.

A physiotherapist will ask you some specific questions regarding your injury or pain as well as your therapy objectives.

Following that, your physiotherapist may perform several physical tests to assess things like:

• Reflexes
• Inflammation of joints
• Mobility and flexibility of muscles
• Joint and ligament stability
• Muscle strength
• Palpation (determining which ligaments, bones, joints, and ligaments are sensitive to touch)

These evaluations are intended to assist your physiotherapist in diagnosing your injury or pain and determining the appropriate treatment strategy for your specific condition.
