Physiotherapy is the treatment of choice for a wide variety of injuries and conditions. It’s a patient-centered approach that emphasizes active participation, therapeutic exercises and functional training. By promoting self-empowerment, this dynamic approach accelerates recovery, improves physical function and promotes lasting well-being.
Strengthens Muscles
Certain injuries can cause muscle weakness due to immobility, disuse and atrophy. Specific physiotherapy exercises can improve muscle strength, which in turn can reduce pain, decrease symptoms and improve overall functioning.
Improves Stability and Balance
Injuries can impair balance and stability, increasing the risk of falls which can be debilitating. Physiotherapy sessions can help to strengthen core and lower limb muscles, improving balance and stability and helping to reduce the risk of further injury.
Highly Personalized Care
In-home physiotherapy offers a greater level of customization and more flexibility, allowing therapists to assess and treat the patient in their own home. This allows for a more detailed assessment of the injury and treatment plan. Patients are able to work together with their therapist to set goals and develop an effective treatment plan.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a physiotherapy program on fall rates in people with Parkinson’s disease. This was a multicentre, pragmatic, investigator-masked, randomised controlled trial with prespecified subgroup analyses. A total of 238 people were assigned to a physiotherapy programme and a control group. The study results showed that the physiotherapy program significantly reduced fall rate in people with Parkinson’s disease.
