Dos’ And Don’ts Listed By Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy is no piece of cake, it requires a great deal of knowledge and also a little bit of patience. Speaking of patience, even the patients need to keep their cool because this palliative process takes time. And there are some rules that if you follow, will be helpful for you a lot.

Everyone knows the common dos’ and don’ts of physical therapy, but Physiorevive will let you in on some peculiar dos’ and don’ts.

 

Dos’

 

●    Stretching

Exercising is one of the main parts of any physiotherapy treatment, but doing it the right way is very important and much needed. Working out may cause your muscles to tighten and shorten, which can reduce the effectiveness. This can take longer to heal than usual or can lead to injury of other body parts. Such as, tight hamstrings can cause back pain. This can be avoided if you do proper stretching pre and post-workout or exercising.

●    Spend Sufficient Money On equipment and Shoes

Get good quality equipment and gears and shoes that you need to work out. Focus on the word “quality”, because that is an important factor in your healing. Physiotherapy can only work at a point, there are other factors that play a major role to palliate the pain. Bad quality products can increase the level of your pain rather than reducing it.

You only have one body and it is irreplaceable, so do not try to ruin it. So, rather than spending more on branded gym wear, spend more on branded sports equipment and shoes.

Don’ts

●    Don’t tolerate Pain For long time / Several Weeks

When you feel pain in any of your body parts for more than 2-3 days, it requires medical attention. In fact, if the pain was caused to you by an injury, you shouldn’t even wait for 2-3 days. You should see a medical professional as soon as possible without any delay. The basic fundamental rule is, the longer you are in pain, the harder it is to get through with it, the longer will be the therapy and healing process.

●    Don’t Google It

We live in a digital world where people believe Google has the answer to every question. Well, the search engines may have answers to a myriad of questions but you should avoid using them for medical queries. Medical conditions, particularly pain and disabilities need to be dealt with carefully under professional expertise.

Search engines may provide you with some answers but they cannot look into your body or x-ray it. So, always seek professional help for medical conditions, and trust your doctors more than the internet, because they will refer you to the best physiotherapy center in Delhi.

●    Don’t put on Weight

Usually, people stop working out and their movements when they are in pain, thinking that they will resume once the pain is gone. And once they start with physical therapy, they tend to think that the exercises and movements in therapy are enough.

Do not do this, talk to your therapist and keep working out. Eat properly balanced food and avoid junk food that can cause you to gain weight.

Another imperative thing, neither gain weight nor lose it drastically. Because losing weight will affect your health even more.
