The best care

The Importance of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the most commonly prescribed treatment to assist in the recovery of many injuries and conditions. Chronic pain, car and sports injuries and challenges with mobility can all be greatly improved with the use of physiotherapy. Here are just a few reasons why sticking to your physiotherapy is so important:

Range of Motion

If you have suffered from an injury or have a condition that is affecting your range of motion, without physiotherapy you will continue to feel less and less capable of participating in your day to day activities. Stiffness and pain in your shoulder, for example, can lead to a case of frozen shoulder if you do not follow your physiotherapy plan. In IBERIAMED, physiotherapy patients with range of motion issues will regain their mobility and be able to return to their usual level of activity and better care for themselves.

Exercise

Your physiotherapist will assign a number of therapeutic exercises for you to practice at home between appointments. Many people think that once they are shown how to do the exercises they no longer require assistance from their physiotherapists. However, during your IBERIAMED physiotherapy appointments, your physiotherapist will first check your improvement and then can increase or change your exercises accordingly to match your progress. Sometimes they will reduce your exercises if you seem to be having difficulty. Without regular appointments chances are you will not be able to progress to complete recovery and could even make matters worse.

Pain Management

In any number of cases for both chronic pain or pain resulting from an accident or injury, physiotherapy will aid in pain management improving your quality of life so you can resume your daily activities, sports, and hobbies.

In IBERIAMED, physiotherapy plays an important role for a number of treatment programs and when disregarded can stop you from regaining your strength and health.
