What is physiotherapy and what conditions can it help with?

Physiotherapy is a form of health science used to support and restore physical performance, improve mobility, and relieve pain. It is an effective tool in the recovery of a variety of musculoskeletal or neurological conditions. It can also be used as part of recovery from injury, surgery, or illness with home physiotherapy or mobile physiotherapy available in some cases. Both home and mobile physiotherapy can be offered by registered practitioners for conditions such as back and neck pain, sports injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, rheumatic and arthritic diseases, incontinence, stroke rehabilitation, and repetitive strain injury (RSI), among others. Combining the latest evidence-based treatments with traditional therapeutic techniques can ensure clients gain the best possible results for their individual situation when performed by a qualified physiotherapist.

The benefits of mobile physiotherapy services

Access to home and mobile physiotherapy services is a convenient, affordable alternative for individuals seeking physical rehabilitation and injury prevention. Mobile physiotherapy practitioners are healthcare professionals that deliver evidence-based care in the home or office setting, eliminating the need to commute long distances to the clinic. This service offers a level of customization, convenience, and comfort that appeal to many patients. With home physiotherapy sessions, it’s easier for patients to take on board home exercises and lifestyle modification advice in an environment they are more familiar with, as opposed to a clinical setting. Mobile physiotherapy also helps reduce waiting times for clients looking for optimal results from their physiotherapy treatment plan.
