Paralysis Physiotherapy
“Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of your body. It happens when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscles. Paralysis can be complete or partial. It can occur on one or both sides of your body. It can also occur in just one area, or it can be widespread. Paralysis of the lower half of your body, including both legs, is called paraplegia. Paralysis of the arms and legs is quadriplegia. Most paralysis is due to strokes or injuries such as spinal cord injury or a broken neck”
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.
Osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed, although the damage to joints can’t be reversed. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and some treatments might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
Osteoarthritis symptoms often develop slowly and worsen over time.
Stroke physiotherapy, paralysis rehab, Facial paralysis, Bell’s palsy

Therefore, stroke rehabilitation is recommended for all people affected by stroke.

The physiotherapy benefits for upper left back pain and lower back pain treatment include improving movement through physiotherapy exercises for lower back pain, increasing strength and range of motion, preventing further injury, and early return to sporting activity.
Shoulder pain, heel pain, ankle pain
The shoulder joint is the most intricate in the human body. It’s intended to give you the adaptability to move your arm 360 degrees. Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders that people face. The shoulder is made up of 4 different joints with many bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, each of which can cause different functional disorders. It’s estimated that up to 67% of people will experience a painful shoulder condition at some point in their life.
Pain or loss of mobility due to injury is common in all parts of the shoulder. If you have shoulder pain, try these exercises given in this article to relieve your pain. Always see your doctor if you experience shoulder pain that doesn’t improve with rest, ice packs, massage, and elevation for a few days

Sprain And Strain Injury
A muscle strain, or a muscle pull occurs when a muscle in your body is overstretched or overworked. Even if the injury from overstretching or overworking occurs more to the attaching tendon it can also be classified under the term muscle strain. A muscle strain can occur in any of your voluntary muscles (or tendons which attach to the muscle), but they are most common in the low back, the calves, the front and back of the thighs, the pectoral muscles, and the muscles of the neck and the shoulder. Muscle strains occur more often in muscles that cross two joints (such as the thigh or calf muscles) and often occur when the muscles are working eccentrically (working while under a stretch). Most often a strain occurs at the musculotendinous junction but can occur anywhere along the muscle.
A muscle strain can occur due to a one-time overstretching or overworking of a muscle (acute injury) or can occur from repetitive use of a muscle over time (overuse injury).
Knee Pain / Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis of the knee and a significant cause of disability. With osteoarthritis the cartilage in the joint breaks down changing the underlying bone and often leading to pain, stiffness and swelling. As a result, knee osteoarthritis can have huge effects on mobility and function. In this article, we will examine the anatomy of the knee joint, risk factors and symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, as well as treatment options, including knee osteoarthritis physiotherapy and knee replacement rehabilitation post-surgery.
Fortunately, physiotherapists can provide non-invasive treatment which will play a major role in reducing the severity of symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.
Knee physiotherapy can include prescribing heat and cold treatments to help decrease swelling and increase blood flow to reduce stiffness in the joint and muscles surrounding the knee region.
Physiotherapists can also show and teach you how to manage your OA through strengthening exercises and stretching exercises that you can do at home.
The physiotherapist will frequently assess your improvements, provide alterations to your exercise program and add suitable progressions to ensure you are seeing positive changes in the functioning of your knee joint. In doing so, strengthening knee-associated muscles provide further stability to the joint.
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common presentation in the primary care setting and can be significantly painful and disabling. The condition progresses in three stages: freezing (painful), frozen (adhesive) and thawing, and is often self-.limiting. Common conservative treatments include nonsteroidal anti-.inflammatory drugs, oral glucocorticoids, intra-.articular glucocorticoid injections and/or physical therapy. However, many physicians may find themselves limited to prescribing medications for treatment. This article elaborates on physical therapy exercises targeted at adhesive capsulitis, which can be used in combination with common analgesics.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is a painful condition. It results from overuse of the muscles in your arm and forearm (extensors). It occurs in the tendons that attach your muscles to the rounded projections of bone on the outside of the elbow (the lateral epicondyle). It affects the muscles you use to grip, twist, and carry objects with your hand. The resulting pain may be felt in the elbow when moving the wrist or hand.
Using the wrist and hand for long periods can lead to this condition. Examples include working on a computer or operating machinery. It can happen to athletes, nonathletes, children, and adults. It gets the name tennis elbow because playing tennis with an improper grip or technique can contribute to it. Tennis elbow occurs more often in men than women. It most commonly affects people between ages 30 and 50.
Golfers Elbow
Golfer’s elbow is a condition that causes pain at the bony bump on the inner side of the elbow and may radiate to the forearm region. Medically it is termed as medial epicondylitis, which is less commonly found compared to tennis elbow. Pain can be felt during long sessions of not only golf swinging but other sports which include squeezing or pitching a ball, rowing, hammering, painting, shaking hands, turning a doorknob, lifting weights or using tools such as screwdrivers.
Physiotherapy targets to relief pain and facilitate recovery as follows; Rest or put your golf game or other repetitive activities on hold until the pain is gone. This will aid in reducing elbow pain. Icing or ice massage to reduce swelling.Protect the area by bandaging or bracing to reduce load on your elbow.Facilitation of tissue repair using modalities such as ultrasound or laser treatment.Kinesiotaping helps by relieving pressure, relaxing muscles and may increase circulation. Stretching, gradual strengthening and flexibility exercise are effective for restoration of normal joint range of motion and normal muscle strength.Gradually return to the activities.
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the wrist and hand. CTS can affect the use of the entire arm. It is caused by pressure on the nerve at the base of the palm (median nerve). Because of the constant demands people place on their hands and wrists, surgery may be needed when symptoms are severe. For many people with CTS, however, physical therapy treatment can relieve pain and numbness. It often can help restore normal hand, wrist, and arm use without the need for surgery.
