At Lifeline Tulasi Hospital, our Physiotherapy team has an in-depth understanding of injury management while retaining the fitness aspect. Most importantly, our team of experienced Physiotherapists communicates the right diagnosis as well as the best care plan to the patient customized according to their specific needs, ensuring suitable, appropriate therapy and timely recovery. The Physiotherapy Department helps patients with sustainable mobility and complete recovery of cognitive capability over a period of time. This involves care management in cases where mobility and operation are affected by aging, illness, disability, disabilities, illnesses or environmental causes. Responsive motion is fundamental to what it means to be well.
Electrotherapy is a more recent evolution of energy-based physiotherapy techniques. In this form of treatment, electrical stimulation is provided by attaching electrodes to the skin. The electrodes cause the muscles to shorten, which in turn helps prevent atrophy—best used in patients with paralysis or severely reduced range of motion. Electrotherapy may also be used in conjunction with laser and ultrasound therapy.
Sore, stiff muscles are a common complaint of both people with desk jobs and professional athletes. If a patient complains of muscle tightness anywhere on their body, it may be beneficial to apply heat or cold to the aggravated areas. Heat therapy includes the application of hot packs or even paraffin wax. Cryotherapy may involve an ice pack application or an ice massage.
Anyone studying to become a physiotherapist assistant is probably familiar with the colourful, neon tape that is sometimes used on patients. Kinesio tape can be applied straight to the skin and is a great way to stabilize the joints and muscles while the patient undergoes treatment. Additionally, the flexibility of the tape means that it doesn’t interfere with range of motion exercises, making it a perfect tool to use when stretching and flexing muscles.
