What is the Reason for Physiotherapy Exercises?
›
The exercises that physiotherapists use are meant to strengthen the
patient’s muscles and get their muscles back to the way they were
before the injury or debilitating disease weakened them. The
physiotherapist’s goal is to return their patient’s muscle tone back to its
optimum performance standard.
How can a Patient Prepare for the Therapy Session?
The therapy sessions are designed to aid the patient in the rehabilitation
process, whether the physiotherapy is needed for a “one-time” injury or
for the therapy of a chronic and ongoing disease. Some tips to take into
account when preparing for your therapy session are as follows:
› Make sure to wear comfortable clothing so that your clothing won’t be
an impediment to the physiotherapist’s attempts to evaluate your joint
stability and movements.
› Ensure to council with your physiotherapist about the level of pain you
are at and what you would like to achieve during your rehab sessions.
› Be sure you are honest with your physiotherapists as to the nature of your
pain, how long it has existed, and how long you have had this problem.
