Ortho Physiotherapy
Orthopedic physiotherapy is optimize physical function and enhance recovery.Physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to restore mobility, correct posture, improve strength, and prevent recurrence of injury. The treatment approach is personalized and considered according type of condition, severity, patient age, occupation, and lifestyle.
Common Conditions Treated:
In Our practice, orthopedic physiotherapists manage a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal problems, such as:
Fractures and dislocations (post-immobilization stiffness, weakness).
Sports injuries such as ligament sprains, muscle tears, and tendonitis.
Degenerative disorders including osteoarthritis, spondylosis, and osteoporosis.
Post-operative rehabilitation following joint replacement, fracture fixation, or arthroscopy.
Spinal conditions such as low back pain, disc herniation, scoliosis, and cervical pain.
Overuse injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injuries.
Clinical assessment is the foundation of effective treatment. Physiotherapists evaluate the patient through:
Detailed history taking (onset, nature of pain, lifestyle factors).
Physical examination (range of motion, muscle strength, posture, and gait).
Special orthopedic tests to identify structural or functional impairments.
Functional assessment to understand the impact on daily activities.
This comprehensive evaluation helps create an individualized treatment plan targeting the patient’s specific needs.
Treatment Approaches
Orthopedic physiotherapy incorporates a variety of treatment methods, often in combination:
Manual therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue release reduce pain and improve mobility.
Exercise therapy: Strengthening, stretching, balance, and endurance exercises restore musculoskeletal function and prevent recurrence.
Electrotherapy: Modalities like ultrasound, interferential therapy, TENS, and laser are used for pain relief and tissue healing.
Postural correction and ergonomics: Education on body mechanics, workplace adjustments, and lifestyle changes help prevent chronic issues.
Rehabilitation programs: Following surgery or injury, progressive exercise-based rehabilitation aids in returning to normal activities, sports, or work.
