Chances are, you’ve heard about physiotherapy at some point. In fact, you’ve probably seen a lot of physiotherapy clinics in Thailand, especially the BPC Physio Center, which is one of the most popular centers in the country.
But when do you exactly need physiotherapy? Here are some of the most common illnesses and health issues that can be addressed using this treatment:
-
Shoulder and Elbow Pain
Whether young or old, you will experience shoulder and elbow pain at some point since they are two of the most used joints in the body, especially for athletes and highly active people. Shoulder and elbow pain is mostly caused by injuries due to age, contact sports, heavy lifting and job-related activities. While you may feel okay after taking some pain medications, prolonged pain will affect your life at some point. Before that happens, you should seek help from a physiotherapist.
-
Lower Back Pain
Did you know that more than 30% of Thailand’s population suffers from back pain? This is especially true among manual labourers and highly active people who constantly lift heavy things. Back pain can also be caused by poor posture, sitting or standing for a long time, herniated discs and other underlying medical conditions. It can even progress to more problems if not addressed right away. Physiotherapy is a good way to remedy back pain and strengthen the back to prevent further injuries in the future.
-
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition of the spine where the curve is from side to side instead of the usual front-to-back curve. This condition may vary in severity, and while it doesn’t usually have any symptoms in mild cases, it can progress over time and eventually cause abnormal posture and severe back pain. In fact, some patients suffer so much that it affects their ability to perform even simple daily activities. Now if you suffer from scoliosis, your doctor may recommend you to undergo physiotherapy to help you deal with the pain and enhance your posture. With consistent therapy and a well-balanced lifestyle, a lot of patients also regain control of their body and enjoy a better quality of life even without surgery.
Finally, physiotherapy may also be recommended as part of a post-operative care plan after surgery. If you underwent a surgical procedure that limited your ability to move, post-operative care will assess your condition and offer interventions that will help you get back on track with your range of motion, rebuild your strength and deal with the post-operative pain a lot better without requiring so much dependence on medication.
Physiotherapy also helps to make you stronger to avoid getting the same injury or any other injury in the future. You just need to find a physiotherapy center with physiotherapists who are trained and skilled in handling these conditions.
