Physiotherapy or Advanced
Physical Therapy is best described to be a medical treatment, which
does not use any medication or surgery. It mostly addresses physical problems
in people of all ages, from children to the elderly. It uses techniques such as
electrotherapy, manual therapy, heat treatment and exercise to increase
a patient's mobility and ease them of pain and discomfort. After a
thorough examination of a patient by a specialist, a physical therapy
treatment and regime is decided. It is performed by a trained, certified
physiotherapist. The physiotherapist uses a patient's medical history and
records for diagnosis. Sometimes, a CT-scan, MRI or X-ray is also required for
further explicit examination of the patient so that a suitable physical
therapy can be carried out.
There are many
types of physical therapy, including cardiovascular physiotherapy, geriatric,
integumentary, neurological, orthopedic, pediatric, sports, women's health and
back pain treatment. Cardiovascular therapy is for any cardiac or
pulmonary problems, or for pre or post cardiac or pulmonary surgery, such as
coronary bypass surgery. It prevents such problems from developing in the
future. Geriatric targets problems that come with old age, such as
Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease or
hip or joint dysplasia. Integumentary treats conditions related to the
skin such as burns or any wounds. Physiotherapists at pleasanton physical
therapy use topical ointments or
surgical instruments to promote healing. Neurophysiotherapy targets
people with neurological disorders and diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer and
Parkinson's diseases.
