PHYSIOTHERAPY: Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by an injury, illness or disability.
At MAHAJAN'S PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC & REHABILITATION CENTRE (Jammu) we work to improve the person from injury, illness or disability by adopting the following physiotherapy treatments.
PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS:
MANUAL THERAPY
A physiotherapists greatest tool are their hands! Manual therapy may involve joint mobilisations to reduce pain, muscle spasm and improve mobility. Alternatively joint manipulation may be applied to restore normal range of movement. They may also use muscle energy techniques which involve gentle isometric muscle contractions to also restore normal movement to restricted joints.
EXERCISE REHABILITATION
Your physiotherapist will provide a personalised home exercise programme tailored to your needs. Having undergone a thorough assessment with your physiotherapist they will select the appropriate exercises in order to help strengthen weak muscles and/or stretch tight muscles.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE / MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Another form of hands on treatment often used by our physiotherapists is deep tissue massge and is often used to work on areas of muscle tightness or thickening. Myofascial release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure in the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine which is used by physiotherapists to provide pain reflief. Trigger point release and intra-muscular stimulation can help to release areas of soft tissues which have become tight and inflexible. This results in increased blood flow and ultimately good healing.
Research shows that acupuncture needles release endorphins which are the body's natural pain relieving chemicals stored in the brain. These chemicals provide pain relief and are also involved in the healing process. Your physiotherapist may choose to use acupunture in isolation or it may be used in combination with a range of other treatment techniques.
All our physiotherapists practicing acupuncture have completed a validated post graduation course in acupuncture theory and practice.
MUSCLE IMBALANCE / CORE STABILITY RE-EDUCATION
Physiotherapists are experts in human movement. Following your initial assessment they will be able to identify specific areas of muscle weakness or tightness and then devise an appropriate exercise program to address this imbalance.
ELECTROTHERAPY
We have electrotherapy equipment available in the clinic including ultrasound and laser therapy both of which aim to assist in promoting tissue healing and providing pain relief.
ERGONOMIC & POSTURAL ADVICE
We are all told how important good posture is but do we actually know what this means? Over time many of us adopt habits or postures that we repeat many times a day and eventually it becomes habitual for us to stand or sit or walk that way. Over time these abnormal postures can cause musculoskeletal pain and injury. Working with one of our physiotherapists you will be advised on maintaining good posture and shown how to do this to prevent aches and pains. Your physiotherapist will discuss appropriate seating, desk position and computer alignment to prevent injury.
