Physical Therapy: Benefits You Didn’t Know

In advance, we know that Physical Therapy is the science and art that, through a set of millenary techniques, with the application of various instruments and especially the hands, prevent, heal, adapt and recover patients with somatic or psychosomatic disorders or anyone who wants to maintain their health at adequate levels.
On the other hand, the physiotherapist is the professional who applies the aforementioned methods and techniques.
Most common techniques of physical therapy
We can cite two main techniques from which many others follow.
Manual therapy: The hands are the main tool of a physical therapist and, among these techniques, we can find:
Techniques with physical elements: A wide variety of tools are used in the treatments, for example:
However, and to the surprise of many, physiotherapy also has some other lesser-known fields of application:
Neurological physiotherapy
This specialty helps patients with some alterations in the nervous system and cannot carry out daily activities. Spinal and degenerative diseases tend to be very harsh during adulthood and neurological physiotherapy stands out for treating brain damage.
In this type of patient, the functional loss is produced by an alteration in the motor and cognitive systems. Physical therapy improves movement coordination, posture control, and brain plasticity.
Physiotherapy during pregnancy
Without a doubt, physical therapy is essential to help pregnant women. The body of women changes a lot during this period and they could feel pain in the hips and back, adding the weight of a baby in its last month within the mother.
Physical exercises help to decontract, the appropriate back stretches will alleviate or prevent injuries.
To reduce postpartum problems, the physiotherapist will accompany the woman from before she becomes pregnant until after delivery, facilitating muscle dilation.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy
It is closely related to important functions of our body, especially with posture, sexual relations, and fecal and urinary incontinence.
Its objective is to treat alterations in the anatomical area of the perineum. These can derive from menopause or postpartum (in women), and prostate surgery in men.
Physiotherapy for the digestive system
For the digestive system to function properly, the organs that compose it such as the pancreas, intestines, and stomach have to be coordinated to achieve good digestion and provide nutrients to the body.
Digestive physiotherapy treats various problems with manual therapy, abdominal massages, and osteopathic techniques to relieve, for example, constipation, gas, reflux, or colic, in newborn children as in other types of patients.
Physioesthetics or dermatological physiotherapy
It is generally used to treat or restore some skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles, cellulite, stretch marks, and scars, being – sometimes – complementary to the treatments of dermatologists.
Our skin – due to its continuous exposure – has the possibility of suffering wounds, cuts, burns, or a special sensitivity. In these cases, the physiotherapist will recommend the best treatments to take care of the skin and avoid sequelae.
Respiratory physiotherapy
Also known as respiratory therapy or pulmonary physiotherapy, it is responsible for treating conditions of the respiratory system – most of the time – being complementary to other medical treatments.
In children, in general, physical therapy is used to treat respiratory tract infections, infections, colds, or bronchitis. If the child or an older patient suffers from asthma, for example, it can help control breathing, reduce coughing, improve sleep and eating.
We must not underestimate an injury, no matter how minimal, since precisely the least thought can become a martyrdom and turn into a chronic injury.
