Physiotherapy treatments of Orthopaedic Conditions can include the following:
Ultrasound Therapy:
A machine that generates ultrasonic waves that are transmitted into the affected area via conducting gel. This, in turn, causes a micro-massage effect, which promotes circulation, reduces pain, increases tissue regenerative
abilities, and aids in muscle relaxation.
Interferential Therapy:
This is an electrical current delivered to the injured area via two or four electrodes. It sends two opposing currents into the body part. It can be used to alleviate pain. Reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.
Rehabilitation Programme:
Physiotherapy exercises are scientifically designed to improve your posture, increase the mobility of your spine and joints, and reestablish and strengthen the muscle groups that support your bones. This will be customised and graded to ensure that you realize your full potential, this is also an essential step in your recovery.
Neuromuscular Stimulation:
An electrical machine that uses variable currents and electrodes to strengthen very weak muscles. This is extremely beneficial after knee surgery to strengthen the muscles that support the
knee.
Manual therapy:
It includes techniques such as mobilisation, muscle manipulation, and other related
techniques.
Taping:
Taping for joint support or alignment relieves pain and allows for normal movement.
