If you have an injury, an accident, or experience chronic (long-lasting) pain which limits your quality of life, it’s a good idea to seek out a Physiotherapist. Physiotherapy includes an assessment and treatment plan. This will focus on the cause of injury and your signs and symptoms. Physiotherapy treatment will be tailored based on the diagnosis, stage of your injury and level of pain, swelling, and dysfunction. Early treatment will focus on treatment to decrease your symptoms and gradually advance to manual therapy and rehabilitation.
Injuries can be caused by an external force , or a fall as well as by internal repetitive forces like prolonged typing or by lifting a heavyweight. If treatment is implemented early to decrease pain, swelling, and improve joint range, muscle strength and function the sooner healing will take place.

One of the most significant aspects of home based physiotherapy is the convenience it offers. You do not need to worry about the stress of commuting to the clinic or waiting for their turn. Your physiotherapist comes to your home at a time that suits you. This makes it especially beneficial for patients when they are older or have mobility issues or had any recent surgeries.
After surgery, healing is a big part of getting back to normal. Physiotherapy can play a key role in this process. It helps improve movement and strength, making sure that your recovery is as smooth and effective as possible.
