Getting athletes back to full form and getting rid of pain is only a part of what a sports physiotherapist does. The focus is also on performance and the overall development of the patient.
Rehabilitation and Pain Management

Rehabilitation and management of pain are some of the most important aspects of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy can help patients eliminate unwanted aches and pains in the body. The treatment plans are typically customized to cater to specific patient requirements. From helping patients get back on their feet after major surgery to managing the pain of all types, physiotherapy is the solution.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

This type of physical therapy deals with the restoration of the function of the musculoskeletal system, which consists of the muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, and tendons. It is also referred to as orthopedic physiotherapy. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy can increase mobilization, decrease pain, rectify injuries, and treat soft-tissue damage.

2. Vestibular Rehabilitation

This type of physiotherapy focuses on the rehabilitation of a person’s balance and repositioning the crystals in the inner ear. The physiotherapist helps in realigning one’s body balance so that there is an increase in the overall function of the body.

3 . Pediatric Physiotherapy

This type of therapy focuses on the physical needs of toddlers, infants, children, and also adolescents. Children with a variety of neuromuscular, developmental, or skeletal disorders can benefit from it. Pediatric physiotherapy aims to alleviate pain, improve fine and gross motor skills in children, help in regaining range of motion & strength, and facilitates better cognitive processes.

4. Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological issues like strokes, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, cerebral palsy, or brain injuries, strike at the nervous system. Since the nervous system plays an important role in how your brain controls your body, neurological problems are mostly considered chronic. Physical therapy is known to aid in recovery from neurological disorders. Therapists typically recommend a few therapeutic exercises that help to reduce the effect of the injuries on the muscles and smoothens out movement. Besides helping patients regain their mobility, physiotherapy also assists in preventing other complications originating from neurological problems.
