Physiotherapy

  

 

Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is a health profession that assesses and provides treatment to individuals to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and function throughout life. This includes providing treatment in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors. Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation.
At Physio Active Rehab Clinic we help our patients return to an active lifestyle through both passive and active treatment techniques. We also encourage our patients to take charge of their health by teaching them techniques for pain relief, injury prevention, and improved physical movement. Our treatment programs are designed to address the individual needs of each patient. Specific treatment programs are also offered for the following:

  • Active / Passive Physiotherapy
  • Gymnastics Collective
    Group exercise at the gym, taking into account the disease. During the course they used numerous utensils.

    Collective gymnastics in the pool
    Group exercises in water including disease. During the course they used numerous utensils. Water due to its physical properties gives the weight off the joints, while resistance to the muscles. There is also the possibility of individual swimming.



    Passive Exercises
    The exercises passive movements of the joints of the patient performs physiotherapist. The aim of passive exercises is to maintain the efficiency of the ligaments, muscle, joint, and maintaining their respective length, flexibility and mobility, prevent bedsores.

    Exercises Step-Passive
    They are based on the patient's own strength, and the external force is a support. Sometimes it is necessary to use relief or assistance in starting a movement. These exercises are mainly strengthening weak muscles and movement patterns of memory formation.

    Active Exercises
    Active exercises are performed automatically by the patient, are also included here in relief or without overcoming the force of gravity.

    Isometric Exercise
    Active muscle contraction without changing the length of the fiber which means the muscles but without a motor effect. Isometric prevent muscle atrophy, achieves a gain in weight and strength, maintain the activity of the immobilized within the body section.

    PNF
    The concept of working with the patient which is based on the pioneering neuromuscular. The main goal of therapy is the use of muscle strength and range of movement to improve the function, the patient needs.

    UGUL
    Universal cabinet improving medicinal allows the rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system, thanks to the improvement of therapeutic and physical exercises.

    REDCORD
    Diagnosis and treatment of providing the possibility of carrying out various types of training. It allows you to achieve the effects of painkillers, relaxants, increases joint flexibility and stabilizes the muscles.

    Tables for gymnastics and massage SGB
    The package includes five tables for passive gymnastics and massage hardware. Improving the traffic without load combined with stretching muscles, modeling figure and massage.

    Massage BOA
    On the part of the body assumes a specially shaped tube which is filled with air. Under the effect of the pressure waves are created compression acting on the body which influences the circulation and metabolism. Massage has a slimming effect, increases the excretion of water retained in the body, complemented by rehabilitation after injuries and contusions, edema of limbs even after mastectomy prophylactically venous insufficiency.



    Laser therapy
    The radiation produced by the laser bio-stimulation has medicinal properties. Applying a laser beam gives analgesic effect, it increases the production of endorphins and increases the regeneration of tissues in the body. The laser is meant to eliminating inflammation, to achieve the analgesic effect, and improve metabolism.

       

    Phototherapy
    Phototherapy is used for prophylactic and therapeutic radiation. It uses different ranges of visible light and invisible infrared and ultraviolet light.
    1. Lamp Sollux
    Is a device is a camera with infrared light that has visible light and ultraviolet light incorporated in it. Lamp sollux has two filters.
      o Purple or blue filter; which reduces infrared rays reducing the heating effect. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and neuralgia effects. This filter also generates less heat.
      o Red Filter: used for osteoarthritis, inflammation and also promotes resorption of edema, also used with poorly healing wounds, produces more heat.



    2. BIOPTRON
    based on the optical wavelength of the infrared component without the presence of UV light. The overall impact of radiation on the human body consists of strengthening the metabolism, stimulate hematopoietic function, increase the body's resistance to infections, stimulate the endocrine glands, and the impact of desensitizing agents.

    Thermotherapy
    Thermotherapy is to provide heat to the tissue- heat treatment, or receive heat treatments Thermotherapy tissues is the delivery of heat treatment by dry or wet, or the use of methods to generate heat in the tissues.
    while the receiving process is to heat the tissues, include the water cure it using water, the temperature is from 36 to 0 ° C, and cryotherapy.

    KRIOSAN
    A device for performing local cryotherapy treatment using liquid nitrogen as a cooling agent. Cryotherapy involves placing a local area of the body in the fumes of nitrogen at a temperature in the range -80 to -150 ° C issuing from the nozzle. The treatment relieves pain by inhibiting mediator release and the reduction of pain. In addition, anti-inflammatory, reduces swelling, in addition to not burdening the circulatory system.

       

    Magnetotherapy
    The treatment involves the use of magnetic fields for therapeutic purposes. The magnetic field penetrates through the body in contrast to other forms of energy. Increases soft tissue regenerative processes, accelerating the process of formation of bone healing, healing of wounds and fractures. Moreover, it has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-swelling. By magnetic fields do not get the heating of tissues.



    Ultrasound / Sonoterapia
    Mechanical action of ultrasound compared to micro-massage action. Ultrasound causes improved microcirculation, increased membrane permeability, improving tissue respiration and stimulating the metabolism of cells, changing the pH of the tissue, increased pain threshold and increase extensibility of collagen fibers, increase joint mobility, muscle relaxation.

    Phonophoresis / Ultrafonoforeza / Ultrasonoforeza
    This method of drug delivery using ultrasound. Ultrasound cause local heating of the tissue, increasing the blood flow and lead-out conductors extend glands, which facilitates the passage of the drug through the skin. The advantage of phonophoresis is connected to a local effect of ultrasound local effects of the drug and to circumvent the drug by the oral route.

       

    Electrotherapy
    Electrotherapy uses electricity therapeutic effect for the treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation. The currents stimulate the nerves and muscles, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, influence trophics tissues and accelerate tissue regeneration.

    1. Plating
    An electric treatment which uses direct current. Operation of the current depends on the applied pole. The use of neuralgia in peripheral circulation disorders, in flaccid paralysis.

    2. Iontophoresis
    This is a method of drug delivery using the movement of ions in an electric field treatment. Ions identical to the electrode under which they are located are pushed away from her and move toward the tissue. The basic indications for iontophoresis:
      o Iontophoresis iodine scars, scar contractures.
      o Iontophoresis calcium: inflammation of the eye, peripheral vasomotor disturbances, Sudeck syndrome, difficult bone union.
      o Procaine or lidocaine iontophoresis: neuralgia, a team of sciatica, headaches, slurred speech (transcerebralnie), bronchial asthma (for around carotid).
      o Histamine iontophoresis: self-induced cyanosis limbs, chilblains, pain syndrome sciatica, chronic inflammation of the joints and inflammation of
    periarticular, trophic ulcers.

    3. Interference currents / Nemecka
    Produced in the body as a result of applying two medium frequency currents from two different circuits treatment. Action interference currents based on: analgesia, stimulation of striated muscle to spasm, improving peripheral circulation by widening blood vessels. In addition, it affects the autonomic nervous system, improves the processes of nutrition and metabolism. ENDOVAC- current interference with vacuum massage.

    4. currentsKots
    Kots currents are currents of medium frequency. This is the type of stimulation used to increase muscle mass and strength. This stimulation is subjected solely to properly innervated skeletal muscle.

    5. Diadynamics / currents Bernard
    Diadynamic derive from two main currents. Thanks to the changes in these currents is obtained specifically affecting your body types. DD currents are primarily analgesic activity, increase blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, also affect trophics. They are used in electrostimulation treatment of degenerative diseases, increase the absorption of effusions and hematoma in post-traumatic.

    6. TENS Method for the symptomatic treatment of chronic pain syndromes and acute pain by using currents of low frequencies. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is applied not only to relieve pain, but also to accelerate the process of wound healing, reduction of increased muscle tension, improve local blood flow, as well as skeletal muscle stimulation.

    7. electrostimulation
    Through electrical stimulation of the muscles of infected we obtain a controlled contraction that mimics the normal operation of these muscles. This provides, among other things anesthetic effect by producing endorphins and improving venous circulation.

       

    Kinesiology Taping
    The Kinesio Taping Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Latex-free and wearable for days at a time, Kinesio Tape is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and other medical conditions. The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique not only offering your patient the support they are looking for, but also rehabilitating the affected condition as well. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio Tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.
