A Thread For Medical Rehabilitation ( Physiotherapy) Students by xoella: 10:35am On Nov 29, 2015 |
I opened this thread for physiotherapy students to give their insight about the course after I discovered that I have not come across such threads before , especially from ppl who are well versed in it. Your views are appreciated . Those who are aspiring to study medical rehabilitation are also welcome. |

ABOUT PHYSIOTHERAPY. WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY? Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent disease and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function who work in partnership with their patients, assisting them to overcome movement disorders, which may have been present from birth, acquired through accident or injury, or are the result of ageing or life-changing events. Physiotherapy can help recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, and increase mobility. A physiotherapist can also help you prevent further injury by listening to your needs and working with you to plan the most appropriate treatment for your condition, including setting goals and treatment outcomes. As first contact practitioners, a doctor's referral is not necessary to see a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists, doctors, and other health professionals will often work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition. The follow diseases are areas a physiotherapist can work: -Arthritis -Asthma -Back pain -Breathing problems -Cancer -Cardiovascular Conditions (including post heart attack, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and pneumonia) -Cerebral palsy -Chronic Pain -Concussions -Dementia -Diabetes -Education and health promotion -Falls & Fractures -Geriatrics (care of the elderly) -High Blood Pressure -Incontinence -Intensive Care -Long-term conditions -Mental health -Multiple Sclerosis -Neck Pain -Neurological Conditions (stroke, concussions, spinal injury, Parkinson’s disease), -Occupational Health -Orthopaedics and trauma -Osteoporosis -Paediatrics (children) -Recovery after major surgery -Rehabilitation -Sports -Vestibular Disorders (dizziness) -Workplace health ...And many others What sort of treatment do Physiotherapists use? Physiotherapists are trained to assess your condition, diagnose the problem, and help you understand what’s wrong. Your treatment plan will take into account your lifestyle, activities, and general health. The following are common treatment methods physiotherapists may use: -Exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles -Joint manipulation and mobilisation to reduce pain and stiffness -Muscle re-education to improve control airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises -Soft tissue mobilisation (massage) -Acupuncture -Hydrotherapy -Assistance with use of aids, splints, crutches, walking sticks and wheelchairs. Where do physiotherapists work? Physiotherapists work in all sectors of healthcare, including public hospitals, private practice, rehabilitation centres, sporting clubs and community health centres. 3 Likes |
