Physiotherapy
We help you recover and overcome the pain to bring you back to life again.
Why Physiotherapy?
Orthopedics surgeries can not be taken lightly since they affect mobility. Your doctor will advise surgery as a last option when all the other options fail in providing relief to you. These surgeries have become more efficient with medical advancements decreasing the recovery time. After surgery, your doctor will suggest you to go for physiotherapy to help you in rehabilitation and regaining mobility.
Benefits of physiotherapy:
Brings back mobility of the affected area
Helps in pain management
Strengthens muscles and tissues
Prevents blood clots
Common Physiotherapy Treatment Techniques
Orthopedic PTs use a wide range of therapeutic modalities, exercises, assistive devices, and patient education methods to help you. Depending on how your therapist uses these treatments, they may be: passive modalities (the therapist gives you a treatment), or active modalities (you perform or participate in a movement)

Massage-Techniques

Interferential Therapy
