Physiotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses external treatments to improve physiological movement patterns, tailored to the patient’s individual abilities.
Treatment
Treatment is based on the patient’s specific complaints and functional or activity limitations, which are assessed through a personalized evaluation. The core of physiotherapy lies in the therapist’s manual skills, supplemented when necessary by natural physical stimuli (e.g., heat, cold, pressure, radiation, or electricity). Simultaneously, the patient’s active participation is encouraged, focusing on coordinated muscle activity and increased body awareness.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the patient’s overall health by restoring, maintaining, or promoting physical well-being, with a strong focus on pain reduction.
Key Goals of Physiotherapy
- Promote correct physiological movement
- Enhance muscle strength and stimulate metabolism
- Foster an understanding of the body’s functioning
- Identify and address dysfunctions while leveraging personal resources
- Restore, maintain, or improve overall health
- Reduce pain
Individual Adaptation and Objectives
Physiotherapy is always customized, taking into account the patient’s anatomical, physiological, motivational, and cognitive characteristics. The main objectives are:
- Activating the body’s natural physiological responses, such as muscle strengthening and metabolic stimulation.
- Encouraging awareness and self-responsibility, helping the patient recognize dysfunctions and make the best use of their resources.
