You might be wondering how physiotherapy can help you manage your asthma. A physiotherapist can help you learn how to retrain yourself so that you can relax your breathing patterns. Physiotherapists can also help you learn how to manage any shortness of breath, coughing, excess mucus and wheezing that might occur as a result of your asthma. A trained physiotherapist can show you various exercises you can do that can help control your asthma and become more active in your day-to-day life. Steps you can take to help treat your asthma are to find out what your triggers are, familiarize yourself with the types of medicines you have to take and always have a current action plan for your asthma.
Physiotherapy and Incontinence
Incontinence is most often caused by weak pelvic floor muscles, which a physiotherapist can help you with. Research has actually shown that physiotherapy is actually more effective and more affordable than some incontinence drugs. Our physiotherapists can help you learn the proper way to use your pelvic floor muscles, teach you exercises that strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, alter your diet, advise you on what foods to eat and liquids to drink and suggest any changes that you might need to make to your lifestyle.
Physiotherapy and Amputee Rehabilitation
If you’ve lost a limb, a physiotherapist can help you treat any phantom pain that you might experience where your limb used to be. A trained physiotherapist can also help you get used to using a prosthetic. The truth about prosthetics is that you can have one for several years and still not get completely used to using it, which is why it’s so essential that you turn to a physiotherapist during your rehabilitation. Something else that physiotherapists can help you with is learning how to properly balance yourself after losing a limb.
