About Physiotherapy Session

A physiotherapy session is a personalized therapeutic intervention conducted by a qualified physiotherapist to restore, maintain, and maximize a patient's mobility, function, and overall well-being. It involves a comprehensive assessment followed by the application of evidence-based techniques tailored to the individual's specific condition. These may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, electrotherapy modalities like ultrasound or TENS, and patient education on posture and movement. The primary goal is to alleviate pain, improve strength and flexibility, enhance balance and coordination, and facilitate a safe return to daily activities or sports. Sessions are crucial for rehabilitation after injuries, surgeries, or managing chronic conditions, promoting long-term health and independence without the need for invasive procedures.

PATIENT REVIEW

Arjun Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer...

Arjun Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active, playing weekend cricket with his friends. Six months ago, a severe lower back sprain while lifting a heavy suitcase left him with persistent pain and stiffness. Simple tasks like sitting through long meetings or playing with his children became agonizing. His orthopaedic surgeon, after ruling out a disc herniation via MRI, diagnosed him with chronic mechanical low back pain and referred him to physiotherapy. Arjun was skeptical and frustrated, fearing he might never regain his old mobility. His first physiotherapy session involved a thorough assessment, where the therapist explained how weak core muscles and poor sitting posture were contributing to his pain. The treatment included gentle manual therapy to ease muscle tension, followed by guided core stabilization exercises. Arjun found the hands-on therapy surprisingly relieving. Over eight weeks of consistent sessions and home exercises, his pain reduced by 80%. He regained the ability to play cricket and lift his children without wincing. Emotionally, he journeyed from frustration and helplessness to feeling empowered and in control of his body again, learning that recovery was a proactive process.
