There are a variety of reasons why physiotherapy is needed by some people. Most people who are in need of physiotherapy are the elderly suffering from arthritis and other physical disorders. People who suffered injury and those suffering from certain health conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and headaches would also require physiotherapy. People who are suffering from these conditions require physiotherapy so that they will know how to avoid further injuries.

Physiotherapy wasn’t given that much value and once seen as merely taking advantage of the desperately sick who who would wouldn’t say no in trying any kind of treatment. In the early nineteenth century, physiotherapy used electrical stimulation and heat and water-based applications as the means to heal the injuries. However, when World War II began, physiotherapy came up with new developments and finally achieved recognition as a specialized field of medicine decades later.

Physiotherapy evolved through the years and its scope is still expanding. Some of the major disorders experienced by infants, children and adults are being addressed by physiotherapy. In orthopedic physiotherapy some of the disorders being treated are sports injuries, fractures, amputation, arthritis, back and neck pain and some post operation conditions.

A therapeutic exercise would help the patient in improving his strength and endurance during the treatment. The body’s joints are also mobilized which will result to a reduced stiffness. The patient will be trained to use an ambulation device in order to bring back movement.

Physiotherapy also helps stroke patients suffering from hemiplegia which is a paralysis on one side of the body, and hemiparesis which is a weakness on one side of the body. Children with celebral palsy are also helped by reducing deformation and spasticity.

Furthermore, if a person is suffering fromshortness of breath and a decrease in endurance, physiotherapy aids in providing a guided exercise and resistance training. Patients, who underwent cardiac surgery, may experience that their strength and function is reduced. Physiotherapy helps in training them regain confidence in doing simple daily tasks on their way to recovery.
