It can also help you reduce your risk of re-injury or illness in the future. Physiotherapy is now considered a comprehensive rehabilitation strategy that can help patients recover quickly and return to daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"1_What_is_physiotherapy\">1. What is physiotherapy?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Physiotherapy is a treatment that involves the application of physical variables to the patient&#8217;s body, such as mechanical movement and exercise, manual therapy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, therapeutic therapy (ultrasound, light, heat), education, and advice to assist the body in regaining its lost functions. Physiotherapy also supports pain alleviation. This strategy has helped people of all ages improve their health while actively increasing strength, endurance, mobility, and coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8678\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8678\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/03\/physiotherapy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8678\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/03\/physiotherapy.jpg\" alt=\"Physiotherapy\" width=\"800\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/03\/physiotherapy.jpg 800w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/03\/physiotherapy-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/03\/physiotherapy-768x526.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Physiotherapy is a non-drug treatment for health and wellbeing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"2_Types_of_physiotherapy\">2. Types of physiotherapy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many forms and techniques of physiotherapy, but they fall into two main categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"21_Passive_physiotherapy\"><b>2.1. Passive physiotherapy<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This method is used when a patient is too weak for specific activities or when they have too much pain or discomfort. With passive physiotherapy, patients do not have to actively engage and use their muscles and joints. Instead, heat therapy, light therapy or hydrotherapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, manual massage, etc., are used to reduce stress, release compressed nerves and accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"22_Active_physiotherapy\"><b>2.2. Active physiotherapy<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Active physiotherapy, on the other hand, is a step up from passive methods. Patients will begin to use their bodies and muscles to engage in the treatment. This method includes exercises that are designed to combine with appropriate equipment and instructions from a physiotherapist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"3_How_does_physiotherapy_work\">3. How does physiotherapy work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depending on your specific problems, many different methods may be involved in your treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three main approaches a physiotherapist makes are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"31_Education_and_advice\"><b>3.1. Education and advice<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the main aspects that contribute to a successful treatment plan involves looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on the individual factors of an injury. Therefore, giving general advice about ways to improve your wellbeing. Your therapist or primary health care provider can give you specific recommendations to apply to your daily activities to take care of yourself and reduce your risk of pain or injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"32_Exercise_and_movement\"><b>3.2. Exercise and movement<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A treatment program that is designed to help you restore your functionality and mobility. Through specific exercises and state-of-the-art equipment. This approach&#8217;s goals include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep your muscles flexible and strong.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reduce pain and swelling in the affected joints.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improve balance and coordination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prevent deformities and future complications.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"33_Manual_therapy\"><b>3.3. Manual therapy<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/acc-combined-therapies\/manual-therapy\/\">Manual therapy<\/a> can be used to treat specific problems, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/low-back-pain\/\">back pain<\/a>, but can also be beneficial for a range of conditions that don&#8217;t affect the bones, joints, or muscles. It has also been shown that the method provides positive psychological effects related to anxiety, stress, or sleeping disorders. <a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/acc-combined-therapies\/class-iv-laser-therapy\/\">Laser therapy<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/acc-combined-therapies\/shockwave-therapy\/\">shockwave therapy<\/a> can also be combined to maximize the effectiveness of manual therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the above approaches, other effective physiotherapy treatments that are often recommended include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"34_Heat_ice_therapy\"><b>3.4. Heat &amp; ice therapy<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heat can be very beneficial for chronic pain and stiffness. By placing a moist heat pack on the skin, it can help improve circulation and blood flow. Ice, on the other hand, is recommended for acute injuries. It works by reducing blood flow to reduce inflammation and swelling, especially around a joint or a tendon. It can temporarily reduce nerve activity, which can also relieve pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"35_Therapeutic_ultrasound\"><b>3.5. Therapeutic ultrasound<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This method can be utilized for injuries related to most soft tissues, joints, and muscle spasms. When applied to problem areas in soft tissues and joints, it produces heat that helps reduce inflammation and increase blood flow, in addition to decreasing pain, stiffness, and spasms. It can facilitate the body\u2019s healing process at the most basic cellular level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"36_Electrical_modalities\"><b>3.6. Electrical modalities<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief involving the use of a mild electrical current. TENS can be beneficial for muscle spasms and alleviate pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"4_When_is_physiotherapy_used\">4. When is physiotherapy used?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Physiotherapy is helpful for people of all ages and with varying health conditions. In particular, conditions requiring physiotherapy include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Neuromuscular diseases:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Musculoskeletal-joint disorders:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> fractures, spondylolisthesis, <a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/scoliosis\/\">scoliosis<\/a>, ligament or soft tissues damage and inflammation, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Respiratory and Cardiovascular Diseases:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> pneumonia, bronchial asthma, pulmonary obstruction, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Congenital disorders:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> brain retardation, meningitis, congenital disabilities, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>After surgery: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">certain body parts might lose their function and work incorrectly after a surgery.
