General physiotherapy is a paramedical discipline which aims to improve the physical health and quality of life of individuals by using non-medicinal techniques and therapeutic exercises. Physiotherapists are specially trained health professionals who work with patients of all ages and with a wide range of medical conditions.
The process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s physical condition and medical history to identify specific treatment needs. The physiotherapist then develops a personalised treatment plan, focusing on improving mobility, muscle strength, balance and flexibility.
The techniques commonly used in general physiotherapy include therapeutic exercises, joint mobilisation, muscle-strengthening techniques, massage and stretching. The use of specialised equipment can also be included in the rehabilitation process.
General physiotherapy is often recommended to treat a variety of health problems, such as sports injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic pain, neurological problems, respiratory disorders and age-related conditions.
By encouraging the body’s natural healing process and improving physical function, general physiotherapy plays an essential role in the rehabilitation and prevention of health problems, helping to improve patients’ overall quality of life.
