Rehabilitation is used most often in diseases and dysfunctions of musculoskeletal pain, syndromes of the spine, brain stroke, some respiratory diseases, rheumatic diseases and others.
Its main goal is to improve the quality and amount of movement. The use of various treatments for movement allows for maximum improvement of lost functions, compensation of existing dysfunction and preventing secondary changes in the skeletal muscle system in the form of restrictions on motility.
It is implemented both in the form of individual therapy (adjusted for the patient), as well as in the form of group therapy:
FDM therapy – a method of diagnosis and treatment of musculo-skeletal injuries and injuries such as muscle strain, ankle sprains, sprains, sports injuries, lower back pain.
McKenzie method – one of the most popular treatments for spinal dysfunction. Exercises for back pain are designed for people struggling with movement of the intervertebral disc. These exercises also suit people who have problems with maintaining proper posture and feel pain due to this.
S-E-T therapy – uses the principles of active load exercises, it can be used during acute, chronic diseases, is based on analgesic, relaxation, mobilization and automobilization, traction and autotraction. The training increases motility, strength, endurance, stability.
Manual therapy – is a specialization in the field of physiotherapy engaged in manual examination and treatment of patients with symptoms within the musculoskeletal system (nervous system, myofascial and marrow), which may be caused by improper operation of the joints, shrunken joint capsule, pinched nerve, overly tight or shortened muscle, stretched ligament. Depending on the cause of the problem the therapist selects the proper technique of treatment.
Cardio apparatus gymnastics – cardio training run on the treadmill, stationary bike and an ellipse. Well-designed training makes the work involve all muscle groups. It contributes to strengthening the capacity of heart muscle and improves the overall efficiency of the body.
Nordic Walking – a form of recreation which consists of marches with special poles. Those practicing Nordic Walking involve the muscles of the body to a greater extent, which can increase the benefit. Properly conducted Nordic Walking training improves the respiratory and cardio-vascular system, increases oxygen uptake depending on the intensity of the use of the poles. During the walk you develop strength and endurance in the shoulders, increased stability of the body and the joints are relieved, which is important in the elderly. Compared to normal walking, practising Nordic Walking burns an average of from 20 to 40% more calories.
Hydrocycling – training on a stationary bicycle submerged in water with dynamic music that shapes strength and endurance, body shaping. In addition, the aquatic environment takes the load off the muscles and joints.
Kinesiotaping – a highly effective method in rehabilitation and sports involving sticking to selected body parts plasters of highly flexible and waterproof structure that support the process of treating pain based on the muscles, ligaments and tendons. Application of this method in orthopedic, pediatric and neurological based diseases supports and enhances the effects of the treatment of these diseases developed during physical treatments and exercises.
The effect of kinesiotaping patches:
- Allows the maintenance of a full range of motion
- Supports the work of damaged and overworked muscles
- Reduces pain and abnormal sensations of the skin
- Eliminates stasis and lymphoedema
- Improves microcirculation
- Prevents repeated injuries
- Corrects incorrect position of the articular surfaces
- Reduces the degree of pressure on the ligaments and tendons
- Stimulates the deep sensory receptors
Application:
- Pain in the spine and joints
- In the treatment of swelling after injury and overwork of the muscles and joints
- In sports physiotherapy
- In neurological patients (nerve palsy, spasticity, floppiness)
- Posture correction in children and adults
