Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of different conditions. Hydrotherapy differs from swimming because it involves special exercises that you do in a warm-water pool. The water temperature is usually 33–36ºC which is warmer than a typical swimming pool. Physiotherapy designed exercises carried out in aquatic environment provide optimal mobility and conserve energy and are therefore perfect for the conditions in which muscles fatigue easily. Range of motions of joints can be achieved pain-free in aquatic environment. Hydrotherapy has a number of benefits, some of which include: •Reduces muscle tension and relieves pain. •Rehabilitates injured muscles. •Boosts the immune system. •Encourages detoxification. •Relieves stress. #fleximovephysiotherapy #Physiotherapy #PT1ST #healthandwellness #physiotherapyislamabad #painmanagement #physio #isolation #rehabilitation #fisio #musculoskeletal #sportinjuries #jointpain #socialdistance #shoulderpain #quarantine #womenhealth #geriatricphysiotherapy #covid_19 #manualtherapy #staysafe #Gyminjuries #workoutinjuries #physiotherapy #fisioterapia #physiotherapyhomeservices #stayhome #physiocanhelp #backaches #physicaltherapist (at Islamabad Capital Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OeI3YABh6/?igshid=1x0nkglco5g3n

#Achillestendinitis The Achilles tendon is a springy band of tissue that stretches from the back of the calcaneus or heel bone and attaches to the calf muscles. It lets you point your toes toward the floor and rise up on your tiptoes. Although this tendon can withstand the greatest of stresses from running and jumping, it is also prone to injuries such as tendonitis. Achilles tendonitis is a common condition that is caused by repetitive stress or intense strain to the tendon, which then results into inflammation or irritation. It usually occurs in runners who have abruptly increased the intensity of duration of their runs. It is also common in middle-aged individuals who participate in sports. This condition can also occur in non active people when the body is pushed or strained beyond its normal activity level. Causative factors include: ▫️Sudden increase stress to the tendon such as abruptly increasing the intensity of an exercise, or wearing high heels ▫️Tight calf muscles- which puts extra stress on the Achilles when performing an aggressive exercise program ▫️Bone spurs- extra bone growth where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone can rub against the tendon and cause pain ▫️Having “flat feet”- otherwise known as fallen arches which causes the arch of you foot to collapse, stretching the muscles and tendon when taking a step ♦️The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury and even more vulnerable to a tear or rupture to the structure Symptoms include: ▫️Pain and stiffness along the Achilles tendon ▫️Severe pain the day after exercising ▫️Thickening of the tendon ▫️Limited range of motion when flexing your foot ▫️Skin on the heel becomes overly warm to touch ▫️Presence of swelling, tenderness and discomfort that worsens throughout the day Treatment ranges per the severity of symptoms and length of time since onset. See your PT for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan to get you back on your feet. #pt1st #physicaltherapy #physio #tiranpt #betterfasterpt #tuesdaytips #tacotuesday #achilles #tendonitis #anklepain #heelpain #halloween #clownshoes #running @nicaclemente 🛠 (at West Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpkr2LTnL_T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19i9lt4dcg1tf

Golfer's elbow otherwise known as medial epicondylitis is a type of tendinitis characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. CAUSE: excessive force to the tendons that are used for bending the wrist towards the palm. This typically occurs when swinging a golf club. Although medial epicondylitis is referred as golfer's elbow, it doesn't only affect golfers. It can happen from any activity involving the repetitive use of the arms or wrists, including swinging a tennis racket, pitching a baseball, carrying a heavy brief case or frequently using hand tools on a continuous basis. Medial epicondylitis: Sudden or gradual can onset. Symptoms: ▫️Pain on the inside of your elbow ▫️Elbow stiffness ▫️Hand and wrist weakness ▫️Tingling sensation or numbness in the fingers, especially the ring and little finger ▫️Difficulty in moving elbow 🔷️It's not unusual for elbow pain to radiate down the arm to the wrist; making it extremely hard to complete everyday activities. It is important to get proper treatment for golfer's elbow as soon as it occurs, as the tendon blood supply is limited hindering the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Prolonged inflammation left untreated can lead to chronic symptoms or even tendon tears.

◾️◾️◾️Meniscus Tear◾️◾️◾️ The #meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides a cushion between your femur and tibia. There are two menisci in the one knee joint. Damage or tearing of the menisci can be caused by: 🔺activities that put pressure on or rotates the knee joint, 🔺trauma from falls or accidents, 🔺and wear and tear over time. Dutch researchers following more than 300 patients with a torn meniscus that was not severe enough to lock the knee found that joint function improved both with surgery and with physical therapy, according to the report published in JAMA.🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶. The conservative Physical Therapy approach should be considered first before surgery. 👉🏾👉🏾 #PT1st #physicaltherapy #physio #pt #titanpt #betterfasterpt #kneepain #meniscustear #prevetion #strength #exercise #venom #flexibility #ortho #pmdsystem #wednesday #wednesdaywisdom (at Marina del Rey Main Channel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boe93aSBvi9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdk2tj18r2j9
