Physical Therapy is a traditional treatment methodology aimed at the treatment and curing of certain ailments, and preventing the chances of reoccurrence of the same. Its primary aim is to bring back the patients to his/her normal self, free of any pain or sufferings, so that he/she could then onwards lead a normal life by performing all the daily activities with minimal or no difficulty.
Physical Therapy covers a wide spectrum of ailments affecting all ages. It is used to recover from orthopedic surgeries (knee, hip, spinal and shoulder surgeries, etc.), treat neurological issues (stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinsons Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Etc) and especially improve strength, walking, balance and overall function. It is effective in managing chronic pain from things such as arthritis, low back pain, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain Syndrome, etc.
In certain cases, some diseases or medical conditions impair the patient so much that it becomes necessary to teach the patient to function optimally within the limitations of the condition, by building on the residual capabilities left in the patient. Physical Therapy is effective in such circumstances as well, and with treatment under the supervision of a skilled therapist, it is possible for the patient to regain a major share of the mobility of his/her joints, achieve flexibility, and acquire better balance, strength and coordination as far as his/her overall self is concerned. Apart from this, Physical Therapy also helps in significantly improving the overall fitness and health of the patient.
