If your doctor has recommended physiotherapy in Surrey, you may be wondering at what types of benefits you will receive as a result of the treatment. In fact, there are many benefits to physiotherapy.
What is physiotherapy?
First, let’s have a look at the definition of physiotherapy. It is defined as a holistic approach to increasing and maximizing one’s mobility and overall function in life. In some areas across the country, you need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist; other areas do not require this. In Surrey, you do not need a referral.
A physiotherapist most often works with those who have suffered an injury as a result of playing sports, or an accident. Muscle and joint injuries can be treated with a combination of pain medication and certain types of surgery from your primary health care provider, but are often also treated using physiotherapy.
Here are just a few of the benefits of partnering with a physiotherapist:
- Reduced pain: Regular sessions with a physiotherapist helps to reduce pain and inflammation, which can result in the need for less pain medication.
- Increased flexibility and mobility: When you have sore muscles and joints, it can be difficult to move around, thus reducing your overall quality of life. Regular sessions increase your flexibility and mobility.
- Reduce the risk of future injuries: regular sessions can strengthen your injured joint and muscle, and thus reduce the risk of re-injuring the area in the future.
- Comprehensive plan that includes home exercises: In between sessions, your physiotherapist may devise a home exercise plan for you.
