Physiotherapy provides patients with the tools they need to correct and strengthen skeletal and back issues they are suffering from. Physiotherapy gives patients exercises they can do from the comfort of their own home to restore strength to the affected area. Over time these techniques will improve overall wellness and help to correct back issues.

Golden Health & Beauty Center offers physiotherapy to its patients. Some services available include decompression, ultrasound, traction, electrical stimulation, cold, heat, flexion distraction treatments, therapeutic stretches, therapeutic exercises, paraffin, manual therapy, supportive braces, massage therapy, shoe inserts (custom foot orthotics), and more.

Some believe physiotherapy conducts treatment by utilizing a more hands-on approach than physical therapy. Physiotherapy incorporates joint mobilization, stretching, soft tissue release, and joint manipulation while physical therapy focuses more on exercise to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Others believe physical therapy and physiotherapy are essentially interchangeable terms.

Regardless, all that really matters when choosing between physical therapy and physiotherapy is the reliability of treatment. Dr. Pantea Nikaeen and her experienced team of medical experts are available at Golden Health and Beauty Center to provide patients with reliable and effective physiotherapy treatment to help them live their best lives.

There are several types of physiotherapy including pediatric, geriatric, sports, and orthopedic. Though they all share some key elements such as all involving exercise and potentially massage, joint mobilization, taping, or tractions, and a goal to improve quality of life, different types of physiotherapy will treat specific issues.

Pediatric physiotherapy strives toward the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders affecting children. Pediatric physiotherapy achieves its goals through a combination of treatment and exercises helping children and teens improve motor skills, regain their range of motion and strength, and live an unburdened life. Pediatric physiotherapy treats many of the same conditions as other forms with additional child-specific focuses like developmental delays among others.

Geriatric physiotherapy treats older adults and helps mitigate age-related complications. The physiotherapist will work with patients to create a customized plan in order to make daily activities easier, restore mobility, and relieve pain. Geriatric physiotherapists specialize in age-related disorders like arthritis, Alzheimer’s diseases, loss of motion, and incontinence.

Sports physiotherapists see high-level athletes regularly to recover from excessive strain, recover from injury, boost performance, and instill preventive measures to avoid injury. Often, they recommend measures such as massage therapy, strengthening exercises, stretching, and mobility aids just to name a few. Sports physiotherapists identify areas of weakness in fitness and conduct regular fitness tests. When a weakness is identified they may prescribe exercises to improve that specific area such as back pain, muscle imbalances, shin splints, or tendonitis.

Orthopedic physiotherapists specialize in the management, treatment, and diagnosis of issues pertaining to musculoskeletal disorders. These often include muscle strains, fractures, neck pain, sprains, and other injuries or disorders diminishing flexibility or range of motion. Typically, orthopedic physiotherapy consists of stretching exercises, heat and ice therapy, cryotherapy, and spine manipulation techniques.

It is important all patients find a physiotherapist who is well suited for their specific needs.
