Physiotherapists - what do they do?

by John K. Consultant
What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the treatment of trauma, disease and ailments through bodily methods -- like massage, manipulation and other therapies -- over surgery and medication.

Lots of folks might be of this opinion that physiotherapists mostly work with sports and back related accidents, but they'd be quite confused. Physiotherapists are highly trained health professionals who offer treatment for individuals experiencing physical issues arising from trauma, disease, illness and aging. Their intention is to enhance a individual's quality of life using an assortment of remedies to relieve pain and restore function or, in the event of permanent injury or disorder, to decrease the effects of any disorder.

Singapore requires for many physiotherapists to be enrolled. These professionals work in many different environments such as hospitals, community health centers, private clinics, sports clubs, rehabilitation centers, schools, fitness centers and on the job. They work independently or together with other health providers to make available a multi-directional method of rehab.

The Work part of the physiotherapist

The part of a physiotherapist is very diverse with no two days being exactly the same. He/she might need to evaluate the physical state of a patient so as to diagnose problems and execute a treatment program, or rather they might also be re-training sufferers to walk, or assisting others to deal using crutches, walking frames, or wheelchairs. Sometimes the physiotherapist could be requested to plan and set in place community fitness programs. At length, physiotherapists may also difficulty sick leave certifications if it be deemed necessary to achieve that.

Throughout the course of their livelihood that a physiotherapist will take care of all types of individuals including kids with cerebral palsy, early infants, pregnant women, individuals undergoing rehab , athletes, and the elderly (to attempt to make them fitter), and also people needing help after heart disease, strokes, or major operation.

Kinds of physiotherapy

Physiotherapy may be an effective remedy for plenty of ailments and any of those treatments can help decrease the recovery period following many different surgeries.
Musculoskeletal - that can be known as orthopaedic physiotherapy and can be used in the treatment of conditions such as sprains, back pain, arthritis, strains, incontinence, bursitis, pose issues, workplace and sport accidents, and reduced freedom. Rehabilitation after surgery can be contained in this category. In addition, it can be utilized for rehabilitation after brain surgery. 

Each person's therapy is tailored to match their particular requirements and a physiotherapist will pick from a broad selection of treatments, such as manual remedies -- These may comprise, joint manipulation and mobilisation (which comprises spinal mobilisation), manual resistance training, and extending. 

Oftentimes an accident may be due to other underlying elements. It might be that continuous back pain results from repetitive work related tasks, poor posture, being over-weight, or perhaps embracing the incorrect method when playing a game. Hence the physiotherapist not just treats the spine pain but addresses the other variables also. This holistic approach aims to decrease the danger of the injury occurring again.
