Physiotherapy is the treatment of movement (Greek kinesis - movement, therapeia - treatment). It is a method of treating and rehabilitating patients using physical exercise, natural factors and physiotherapy (heat, water, cold, electrostimulation, massage, etc.).
Physiotherapy is a natural method of treatment based on the use of movement as a basic biological function of the body, and appropriate body movements help to renew, improve and maintain the functional status of the bones, muscles, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, among others. Movement function stimulates the activity of all body systems and increases the patient's overall performance. As a natural method, physiotherapy can be applied to patients of any age.
Physiotherapy is the most direct route to treating illness, correcting persistent health problems and improving health. Physiotherapy improves brain function, relaxation, serotonin levels and mood. Before physiotherapy treatments can be administered, it is necessary to assess the nature of the illness, the cause, the adaptive capacity of the body, the physical development of the person, his/her age, and his/her occupational characteristics.
It is very important that physiotherapy sessions are systematic.
Therapeutic exercises shall be carried out with precise movements, indicating the starting position, amplitude and tempo of the movements and the distribution of physical exertion, which shall be selected by the physiotherapist according to the patient's physical and mental state.
During the physiotherapy treatment, the intensity of the physiotherapy sessions, the number of physiotherapy treatments, the amplitude of the movements, the number of repetitions of the exercises, their complexity and intensity shall be progressively increased.
The patient's conscious participation in physiotherapy sessions and his/her cooperation with physiotherapy specialists have a very important influence on the success of the outcome.
Kinesitherapy is used for the rehabilitation of neurological and orthopaedic traumatological patients, in flat-footedness, in diseases of the locomotor-support apparatus, respiratory system, vascular-cardiac system, as well as before and after surgery.
The functions of the physiotherapist have now expanded considerably to include clinical assessment of the patient's functional status, the application of physical and physiotherapeutic measures, monitoring of their effects and evaluation of their effectiveness.
