Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on precision to overcome musculoskeletal challenges, offering personalized solutions for specific injuries and conditions.
Differential Diagnosis: Identifying the Root of the Musculoskeletal Problem
Differential diagnosis is crucial in orthopedic physiotherapy. Physiotherapists use detailed assessments to identify the root cause of musculoskeletal problems, differentiating between injuries, joint dysfunctions and muscle imbalances.
Specific Rehabilitation Protocols: Approaches Adapted to Each Condition
Orthopedic physiotherapy adopts specific rehabilitation protocols for each condition. Exercises, stretches and strengthening techniques are adapted to address injuries such as sprains, tendonitis and back problems, aiming for complete and lasting recovery.
Manual Therapy: Restoring Joint Mobility and Relieving Pain
Manual therapy plays a central role in orthopedic physical therapy. Physiotherapists use techniques such as joint manipulation, mobilizations and myofascial releases to restore joint mobility, reduce stiffness and relieve pain.
Functional Training: Integrating Recovery into Daily Functioning
Functional training is an emphasis in orthopedic physical therapy. Exercises are selected to replicate activities of daily living, ensuring that recovery not only treats the injury, but also prepares the individual to resume normal activities.
