What things do you need to keep in mind while visiting a physiotherapist?

 Like medical doctors, some physiotherapists also specialise in certain domains. For eg, a particular physiotherapist is best in dealing with sports injuries. Others might be experts in treating ankle injury. Some others in the line may focus only on athletes, children, elderly etc. The judgement doesn't end just at the recommendation of your doctor. Once your doctor recommends a physiotherapist to you, after that it's also your responsibility to check if that physio is the right one for you or not. For starters, you may begin by asking questions such as:-

 

●    How will you decide which treatment is the most suitable for a person suffering from this problem? What factors will you consider while designing my treatment plan?

●    What is the duration of individual sessions as well as my total treatment duration?

●    Will you be using any equipment as well for the treatment, if yes what will they be.

●    Do you provide physiotherapy from home service as well, in case I need it at some point of my treatment ?

 

If you do not feel completely satisfied with the answers of the physio recommended to you by your doctor, you can always go back to your doctor and ask him to recommend some other physiotherapist. However, recommend or not you can always visit Dr. Vikrant Bhardwaj in Delhi at physiorevive. He is one of the best physiotherapists in Delhi.

Why first visit so important?

If you are someone under 18 and are visiting a physiotherapist for the first time, you can take your parents/guardian along for better support. Whenever you are visiting a physiotherapist and especially at the time of your first visit, ensure to wear loose and comfortable clothes so that the physiotherapist can accurately examine your range of motion. If you are suffering from knee problems, wearing shorts will be very helpful.

 

The physiotherapist will then examine you for any kind of pain, injury etc. Following this your treatment plan will be designed. Depending upon the kind of problem you are facing, your treatment may or may not begin from the first visit.

 

Other important parameters to follow:-

 

Stick to the plan:- it's very important to follow your physiotherapist exercises. Do not skip it even for once and neither over do them. Follow the appropriate directions given and exercise regularly. However, if there is any specific part of the treatment regime that's bothering you, talk to your physiotherapist.

 

Know your body:-

The body and the mind connect is indispensable. So, when your physiotherapist is explaining the injury and it's treatment, listen to it very carefully. Your body needs your complete attention to recover completely.

 

Celebrate your recovery:-

Exercise like other good things takes time, patience and working hard. So, once you have invested all of this in your healing and you come out fully recovered. Pat yourself and of course thank your physiotherapist for the efforts and celebrate your recovery.
