Physiotherapy
& its place in the health system
Physiotherapy
as a clinical discipline means the treatment of the human body's diseases by
physical factors such as electrical currents, hydrotherapy, therapeutic
exercise & manual therapy. Physiotherapy is a non-drug treatment &due
to its nature has been increased across the world. This therapy is used widely
in many health problems including physiotherapy & counseling after heart
surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, skin burn…. the
therapy aims to increase body & physical performance & the
physiotherapist is considered the therapist. By identifying especial groups of
individuals tries to prevent diseases & screen disabilities.
Physiotherapy
plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life, accelerating the return
to daily activities, increasing efficiency & rapid recovery of performance
after surgery.
We
can reach these objectives by having physiotherapy before surgery, providing
necessary training, reducing the time of hospitalization & recovery after
surgery. In order to achieve these goals, we have to take advantage of trained
physiotherapist who are proficient in diseases as well as modern methods &
advanced equipment's. Unfortunately some physicians refuse to send patients
that have undergone surgery newly to physiotherapists because of the fear of
acute pressure of treatment & high risk of injury. While the treatment in
acute, sub-acute, & chronic illnesses are not the same. First the
dysfunction & patients need along with his capabilities are exactly &
accurately examined & determined by physiotherapists & then the
therapies are prescribed for the patient considering his illness,
condition,& without the slightest risk. Accordingly,
in the initial phases, are mainly physiotherapy protocols in order to reduce
the pain & inflammation & exercise therapy will be completely
conservative. By reducing early symptoms the treatment protocols are changed
& a progressive therapy is taken into account.
