Treatments
Physiotherapy is the science that studies, diagnoses, prevents and recovers patients with intercurrent functional kinetic disorders in organs and systems of the human body. It works with acquired conditions and traumas as well as with genetic makeup and predisposition.
The objective is to preserve, maintain, develop or restore (rehabilitate) the integrity of organs, of systems and of function. Knowledge and resources are used as part of the therapeutic process in the psycho-physical-social conditions to promote better quality of life.
Physiotherapy naturally enhances your body’s ability to repair and restore itself through manual therapy and exercises.
Starting a treatment program, my initial focus is to find the root cause of the symptoms and what are the impaired connections between the body and the mind. As treatment advances and body movement improves, the patient experiences an improvement of his/her general physiological and psychological states as well.
As a physiotherapist, I can assess and treat a variety of common conditions, including, but not limited to back problems, age-related conditions, sports injuries, upper body (hand and arm) conditions, lower body (leg and foot) conditions, and other cases such as whiplash and post-surgery rehabilitation.
