Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy in a hospital setting plays a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation of patients. Hospital physiotherapy is integrated across various departments to help patients regain mobility, manage pain, and restore function after injury, surgery, or illness. Here are key aspects of physiotherapy in our hospital:
1. Acute Care Physiotherapy
- Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Assisting patients in regaining strength and mobility after surgeries such as joint replacements, spinal surgery, and abdominal surgery.
- Respiratory Care: Providing breathing exercises, chest physiotherapy, and techniques to enhance lung function, particularly for patients with pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or post-operative respiratory complications.
2. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Physiotherapy
- Early Mobilization: Implementing early mobilization protocols to prevent complications from prolonged bed rest, such as muscle atrophy and deep vein thrombosis.
3. Orthopedic Physiotherapy
- Fracture Management: Helping patients recover from fractures through mobilization, strengthening exercises, and functional training.
- Joint Replacement Rehabilitation: Guiding patients through exercises and activities to regain joint function and mobility after hip, knee, or shoulder replacements.
4. Neurological Physiotherapy
- Stroke Rehabilitation: Facilitating recovery of motor skills, balance, and coordination in patients recovering from strokes.
- Spinal Cord Injury: Assisting patients with spinal cord injuries to maximize their functional independence and improve quality of life through targeted therapies.
5. Pediatric Physiotherapy
- Developmental Disorders: Working with children with conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or developmental delays to improve mobility, strength, and functional abilities.
- Post-Surgical Care: Assisting children in recovering from surgeries, ensuring proper healing and development.
6. Geriatric Physiotherapy
- Fall Prevention: Implementing balance and strength training programs to reduce the risk of falls in elderly patients.
- Chronic Disease Management: Helping older adults manage chronic conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and Parkinson’s disease through tailored exercise programs.
7. Pain Management
- Chronic Pain: Implementing exercise programs, manual therapy, and education to help patients manage chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic low back pain.
- Post-Operative Pain: Providing interventions to manage pain after surgery, ensuring optimal recovery.
