Life Hands

Description

Physiotherapists in Life Hands are educated to assess, restore, and help patients maintain an ideal level of physical function and health. The first thing a physiotherapist will do is to manage any pain you might be feeling.
There are different ways this can happen – specific exercises, hands on treatment, or simply educating you about what not to do. In many cases, medical acupuncture is extremely effective for dealing with nerve pain or dysfunction, among other issues. Therapeutic options like a TENS machine can also be used for pain. Not letting things get any worse is the first step, no matter what. The second clinical step is to get back any mobility or strength you might have lost. This is where you move more into specifically prescribed exercises. Say, for example, you have had surgery on your shoulder. Without physiotherapy, you would not be doing any exercises or taking any action to stimulate blood flow and healing. Your range of movement (how high you can reach, for example) might be reduced. Maybe you’d want to try increase your muscle strength on your own, but how would you know where to start? This is where physiotherapy can have huge benefits. Physiotherapists are trained to help you increase range of motion and stability, speed healing and recovery, and teach you the proper exercises to help you increase your strength gradually.
