Physiotherapy is the science that, through a set of therapeutic methods such as heat, cold, water, massage, and electricity, has the purpose of rehabilitating, preventing, and curing pain in patients with injuries or physical disabilities.
Some of the more notable benefits are:
- Improves mobility
- Alleviates the pain
- Increases strength and flexibility
- Helps with posture
- Reduces inflammation
- Prevents injuries
Why is it important to go to physical therapy even if I don’t have any pain?
Among the types of physiotherapy, there is preventive physiotherapy, which aims to avoid musculoskeletal injuries. Physical therapy is also for healthy patients or patients without present injuries to educate the person about their activities, improve physical condition, and strengthen our body through massages and exercises that relax and tone our muscles, posture correction, and reduction of tension.
From an athletic point of view, physical therapy helps with performance, shortens rehabilitation time, prevents future injuries, and adapts the athlete to their training.
However, physiotherapy is indicated for treatment and prevention for any person, regardless of gender or age. Going to therapy regularly, even without any condition, improves the quality of life.
