Someone just called asking for a "regular Physiotherapy sitting". PTs, not enough is being done to make patients aware that PT is not a facility in the hospital it is a specialised field of work.

Preventive Physiotherapy is not being used enough. Even though there is an increasing awareness on importance of exercise. Exercise as prevention from physical, mental and physiological health issues after thorough assessment by PT is need of our times. PTs must convey to each and every patient personally that Physiotherapy is not about fixed protocols. We work on a base plan which is flexible enough to accelerate or decelerate depending on case progress.

All those who want to share the idea of healthy living on social platforms must be careful. Propagating generalised information on Anatomy, Physiology, Nutrition and even Exercise is showcasing you as a specialist but probably misleading someone who may link these threads in their own way. Talking to every individual and giving specific information is what makes you a true specialist in your field of work.

Pre printed, generalised exercise sheets can never substitute a case specific exercise plan, but they seem to be popular with both PTs and patients. https://twitter.com/physio_twtr/status/1032245262733860864?s= 19

LIMITED walking or mobility during an episode of severe back pain is mostly helpful with very few exceptions. Bed rest isn't always necessary. One should always consult an experienced Physiotherapist before following any treatment plan that includes US + IFT + Diathermy for 10 days  along with bed rest. Ultrasound Therapy, IFT, Diathermy is not to be used like a fixed dosage of Pain Medication. Patients must understand that Electrotherapy is only a part of #PHYSIOTHERAPY.Treatment with Electrotherapy alone is actually missing out on  most important aspect of PT that is BIO MECHANICS. Most cases don't need MRI but if an MRI is taken then it shouldn't become a psychological barrier.

A physiotherapist is well equipped with knowledge of human body structure and function. A physio learns subjects of modern medicine and their implementation in physio therapeutic means of treatment. Use of Electro therapy compliments well with exercise and manual techniques of treatment. The knowledge of Bio Mechanics leads to expertise in analysis of physical functions and prescription of exercises or Manual Therapy interventions. Prescription of exercise is done based on individual capacity and requirement of patient. We at THE PHYSICAL HEALTH CONSULTANTS provide personalized care on as needed or preventive basis. We have created a practice that we believe in and would choose for our near and dear ones when needed. Visit us with a prior appointment. 

Indians are becoming conscious about routine #HealthCheckUps where quantitative data analysis apparently reflects their health status. What about qualitative analysis of Physical Health status? Regular #PhysiotherapyAssessment and advice can be used as a great prevention tool.
