Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy focuses on the science of movement. Movement dysfunction due to altered joint mechanics and muscle imbalance may lead to pain and functional limitations in various aspects of life. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in reducing pain and regaining lost function.

 

At Sportsmed Activ, we understand pain as a BioPsychoSocial experience and we work towards pain management and movement enhancement in a holistic manner. We practice evidence based management within the framework of clinical reasoning for all Musculoskeltal Dysfunctions.

Benefits of Physiotherapy

  • Restoring joint mobility and muscle function post traumatic and cumulative stress injuries, degenerative joint diseases and systemic conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis.
  • Pain Management.
  • Return- to- Sports post injury and sports specific rehabilitation to enhance sports performance.
  • Injury prevention programs in sports and fall prevention programs for elderly.

Physiotherapy Management

Range of Services

 

 

Active Excersise

We believe in an active approach to pain management. Exercise based interventions have the highest level of evidence in term of long-term effectiveness. We target specific muscle imbalances through individualized exercise programs.

Manual Therapy Techniques

Manual therapy techniques involve hands-on techniques to improve soft tissue mobility and hence achieve the goal of breaking adhesions and optimizing muscle function.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique that uses a "dry" needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into muscle trigger points. Our physiotherapists are trained in dry needling techniques to treat pain and movement impairments.

Taping

Taping helps in relieving pain, improving joint stability, enhancing athlete confidence and reducing injury recurrence. Our therapists are certified practitioners of various taping techniques for prevention of injuries and also as adjuncts to therapy for accelerated recovery from injuries.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy and local modalities are used to assist pain reduction and the natural healing response via an increase in energy (electrical, sound, light, magnetic, temperature). At Sportsmed Activ, we make use of Ultrasound and IFT for pain management.

Awareness and Education

We are committed to create awareness on how optimum movement patterns could help prevent injuries. In this pursuit, we deliver lectures at large corporates, schools and Government offices. We also conduct Geriatric Rehabilitation, Antenatal and Postnatal classes.

Aquatic Physical Therapy

Aquatic Physical Therapy is a skilled practice of physical therapy in an aquatic environment by a physical therapist. The buoyancy, support and accommodating resistance of aquatic environment enhance exercise and function training.

 

At Sportsmed Activ, we use aquatic therapy at different stages of rehabilitation. Our therapist personally accompanies our patient in pools (arranged by the patient) for a supervised session.
