As per the people’s perception in our country, Physiotherapy is the preferred choice of treatment when they underwent injury or surgery. Physiotherapy aims to gradually restore the joint mobility & improves muscle strength. But in spite of few weeks or months of treatment, sometimes continues physiotherapy may be required even for months or years.
When we suggest continuous physiotherapy ?
Considering lifelong physiotherapy, the patient would be standing in one of the two main categories –
Chronic Conditions –
It means that the physiotherapy don’t purely required because of any kind of traumatic injury but rather because of a medical condition.
Conditions Like – Arthritis, Diabetes or Chronic pain.
In most of chronic conditions people tend to amaze when they hear work PHYSIOTHERAPY for the treatment but No doubt Physiotherapy treatment can be very effective for these kind of conditions parallel to the other line of treatment which the patient is already following.
If we consider -
Diabetes as an example -
Regular Physiotherapy exercises can support the patient’s treatment by reducing weight, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol and thereby reducing the overall requirement of insulin.

Arthritis –
Physiotherapy treatment helps to maintain the muscle strength and the joint mobility which in turn reduces the inflammation.

Chronic Pain –
A physiotherapist assess and give your treatment as per the requirement which basically reducing stiffness and encourages the accumulation & production of natural pain killer chemicals and antibodies.
Maintenance Phase –
Physiotherapy for injuries which are not healed properly or completely comes under this category.
The physiotherapy treatment for this phase is quite different as compared to chronic conditions and usually used for partially healed injuries. In many of the cases it has been used to treat old injuries that were seemed fine after the treatment in past but have got worse as the time passed.
Eg -
Ankle Sprains –
This is the most typical example of these kind of injuries. Most of the people take home remedies and rest at home till the pain subsides and resume their normal routine. Due to resuming activity in this partially healed state, around 72-75% of ankle sprains reoccur.
It can go unnoticed with young generation patients as with flexible muscles, ligaments and joints it won’t felt any issue with unhealed sprain but with increasing age these problems deteriorate overtime. Here the maintenance phase plays a very important role to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Further, Our experts at MAKINO HEALTHCARE treats more severe injuries in maintenance phase that may require intervals of treatment every passing year. In many of the cases where patient got injured in car crash resulting in severe injuries like – Whiplash to amputation. It has been seen that maintenance phase can be effective to improve the patient’s quality of life when patient is incapable of maintaining good quality of life with home based treatment.
For how many days I should take Physiotherapy Treatment ?
