Posted by Arjun Viswanath on February 20th, 2018

Some people make the mistake of grouping physiotherapy with chiropractic and massage therapy in London and pushing them all into the same category. While these practices have real merits in improving health and relieving chronic aches and pains, they are not the same as physical therapy.

Physiotherapy isits very own category of health care. When applied properly by trained physiotherapists, itcan give the body relief from long term aches and pains and enable it to heal itself from injuries. This treatment modality consists of various segments, including sports and injury therapy, which not only helps relieve physical conditions but also helps to make the body stronger while developing flexibility and improving overall health.

How exactly does physiotherapy help treat and release body pain? Physiotherapists treat pain from its source. These are experts who know exactly how to look for the root causes of your bodily aches and prescribe the best course of action to take in order to release pain and improve your condition. They will examine areas of stiffness or weakness that could be adding stress to the painful areas of your body and treat them with different exercises that can help ease pain, enhance your flexibility, and increase strength. These exercises will help you move with ease. More importantly they can gradually but effectively eliminate pain—and even prevent it from coming back.

Physiotherapy in London is often a mix of several types of exercise and training routines. Sessions typically begin with gentle stretching to warm up the body for the exercises ahead. You will likely be asked to do a combination of low-impact aerobic training, pain relief exercises, and strengthening workouts, along with massages and hot and cold compresses, whenever applicable, to help soothe pain. Physiotherapists may also use active release techniques, which are specifically designed to treat pain in the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and tendons.
