Clinical physiotherapy is a patient-specific form of treatment strategy used by physiotherapists. It helps to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and neurological and cardiovascular problems and helps in rehabilitation. Clinical Physiotherapy is recommended for those patients who are in the recovery stage of injury, surgery, or pregnancy or those who have specific functional impairments or weaknesses. These conditions are treated through physical methods, including massage, manipulation, exercise, and other treatment modalities to enhance their participation in their desired activities. Clinical physiotherapy is a treatment intervention that is rendered after the clinical physiotherapist interacts with a patient, collects information about the history and the current problem, determines the optimal diagnosis, and designs the treatment based on the information obtained.
How Does It Work?
The clinical physiotherapist analyses multiple variables contributing to the patient's limited physical capacity, the ability to execute a task or action in a standard environment and performance, and what the patient can do in his or her current environment. The key elements of the process include determining the underlying key factors that limit physical capacity and performance. The therapist interacts with the patient and other persons involved in the patient's care such as family, and other health care professionals, and guides the patient in finding health management strategies. The patients are individually examined, evaluated, and assessed. Then exercises are designed specifically to target their problem, and according to the patient's ability, history and goals. The recommended exercises in the program are highly targeted to reduce the risk of aggravating the injury. The patients are closely supervised and monitored by experienced physiotherapists who guide the patient through each technique and teach them how to use any specific equipment, to ensure maximum benefit and prevention of injuries. Function and performance are monitored regularly to ensure the patients are restoring and promoting physical function, mobility, and physical activity.
