Orthopedic Physiotherapy

Orthopedic Physiotherapy

Orthopedic physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on diagnosing, managing, and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Whether recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or rehabilitating from an injury, orthopedic physiotherapy plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving overall physical function.

What is Orthopedic Physiotherapy?

Orthopedic physiotherapy involves evidence-based treatments and rehabilitation techniques designed to enhance the recovery process from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. It is beneficial for individuals suffering from arthritis, fractures, sprains, post-surgical recovery, and sports-related injuries. The goal is to restore movement, strengthen muscles, and prevent further complications.

Common Conditions Treated in Orthopedic Physiotherapy

Orthopedic physiotherapists treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Arthritis & Joint Pain: Managing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other degenerative joint diseases to enhance mobility and reduce stiffness.
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery programs following surgeries like knee replacement, hip replacement, and spinal surgeries to regain strength and function.
  • Sports Injuries: Treatment for sprains, strains, ligament tears, and overuse injuries to facilitate a faster and safer return to physical activity.
  • Fracture Rehabilitation: Assisting in post-fracture recovery by improving flexibility, strength, and reducing stiffness in affected areas.
  • Back & Neck Pain: Addressing conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and poor posture-related pain through targeted exercises and manual therapy.
